Silly me to take on such a big task as a new quilt in 5 days!!! I started out with wanting to make 26 blocks, then I changed the layout and decided 46 would be good and then I changed my mind again and decided I needed a total of 59 blocks!!!! but they are done and I have cut out the rest of the blocks and to the machine I will go to try and put it together before 6pm. Why 6pm? well it's Jarrod's graduation dinner tonight so no sewing at all after 6pm!!! If I run out of time it will just be a top at Quilt Market and that will be that!
and here is block 5 of "berries and bluebirds"
off I go to sew!!!!
Maybe see you on the weekend!
Cheers
Gail

Well done Jarrad. Year 12 is hideous. Your little fingers must have been working in over drive, 59 blocks is a big ask.

It is all looking GORGEOUS! and I can’t wait to see it all. ooooh that will be today. Rubbing my hands together…….:-) C U Soon girlfriend!!

Your blocks looks great! Hope you reach your goal, but take a break and relax a little bit in between, you crazy gal! Your quilt will be gorgeous, so it will be worth the hard work ;o)
Hope you’ll had a great day, and I bet you are a proud mother :o) Wish you a great Friday, and hope you’ll enjoy the weekend.

Congrats on Academic achievement. Gail. I know that the kids “do “it all . BUT if they didnt have MUM in the background it is a heap harder. So Congrats to you too..
And as usual the Quilt looks lovely. DebH
Congrats on a beautiful quilt and also on surviving year 12. my youngest has just finished as well, competing with yours as he did methods and specialist maths. Not easy subjects but well done for the awards,he obviously deserved them. Good luck for next year and hope the next one achieves all he wants.
