Boy, I had a tussle with a nasty germ last week. I think I won. I have been working on my holy toledo quilt, an older ufo in my 5 quilt projects. After adding it to my frame to quilt, I could see that the last row was not right. I decided to take it off the frame, and redo the last row. Now, I am officially quilting it. Never give up, never surrender. LOL
I spent some time adding heat and bond to fabric scraps and cutting more flowers and some leaves for my
hollow nine quilt. I had laid it out with the borders, and, realized it would take more flowers than I initially thought.
This is the last of the cutting for the
for my bonnie Hunter
basket quilt. I consider it a complete kit for making the quilt. I can pick up and take it with me, to begin piecing the blocks.
I have 50
sugar grove blocks. I had planned for 72. I might make it a bit smaller, or take a break, and take it back on again. But, I am growing weary of the project. But, I have developed a great rhythm, that is adequately successful. I cut and sewed the hsts last year, for the
rainbow scrap challenge, and assembled the blocks this year.
I loved your comment about never give up and never surrender. I'm sure Holy Toledo has lived up to its name as in Holy Toledo I can't believe I'm redoing that! LOL--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteGlad you are better. Love the scrappy Holy Toledo blocks.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear from you, but sorry to hear about the 'bug'. Hope you are feeling up to par now. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are feeling better. There is a lot going around right now. Looks like you managed to get some things done though. Looking great!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy, and so well organized. Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you've been sick. Good job fixing that pesky ufo. Great motto: Never give up, never surrender!
ReplyDeleteI'm finally over a nasty virus. Stupid germs! Glad you are better as well, & good for you on not surrendering! Holy Toledo!
ReplyDeleteUgg ... it's no fun being sick!!! I'm glad to hear that you're on the mend! Holy Toledo is looking great! I'm glad that you're not giving up or surrendering!! Keep on quilting!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to TGIFF!!
Your Holy Toledo looks great! Errors happen, I'm glad you discovered it before it was quilted. Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYou've been moving along with several projects. Sometimes it does feel like you just want to surrender, good for you for keeping at it.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of having 5 UFOs that you can choose from and, eventually, get done. Do you feel like you've really made a dent in your UFOs?
ReplyDeleteGlad you won!!! I love holy toledo!!!
ReplyDeleteNever give up, never surrender made me smile as it just happened to me! After piecing all the blocks for a new quilt, I was disappointed that it didn't live up to the rendering I'd created in EQ. The fix was to replace one of the flying geese in 25 blocks, creating a more dynamic flow of color. I'm so happy I did it, but it wasn't fun for sure. Holey Toledo will bring you such joy now that you addressed whatever was wrong about that row. Can't wait to see it quilted! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
