New to me quiltathon

2:00 PM
Dentist gave me an antibiotic and my fingers are crossed that I will start reviving.
I cut more Carolina Chain

I finshed Clue #5 Enprovence

I cut more 2 inch strips from scraps for Carolina Chain

I cut flannel strips from a leftover scrap 3 1/2 in

I cut more hour glass units for  the leader/ender project swap

But I can't find  all the borders for the tumbler quilt, so it's a mad scramble to clean up some ergo the other stuff I am doing.
But I think I need a nap....sigh....



9:00 AM

My company has gone home, and I am having a love/hate relationship with the quiet. And I still have  nasty cold.
I stole some cutting time to start a new quilt Carolina Chain by Bonnie Hunter. I have no idea why this one, except it was at the front of the book Addicted to scraps. I still can't get into my sewing room, so I could sit at the dining room table and still know what was going on everywhere else. It felt good to systematically pick up a strip in my 2 inch bin, and cut it into pieces.
I needed at least 11 inches of a dark to cut into 2 - 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 rectangles and 2 more matching 2 inch squares. Then if there was at least 6 inches left, I could cut them for the matching 3 - 2 in squares.  Anything left, I cut first into bricks 2 1/2 x 3/12, and then 2 in squares.

Judy at Patchwork Times is having a quiltathon. I have never participated in that so I'm not sure how that will work for me, but it will be a new adventure. I have ham and beans in the crockpot, and I really want to focus on my tumbler quilt. But first I have a dentist appointment, I broke a back tooth over the holidays and it is starting to ache.  And tonight, I have relief society, and I am leading the
" marshmallow polar bear" activity. They will be so cute.
