Quiltathon - Day 3

I don't usually Blog on Saturday, but I have to share my progress on the Quiltville Mystery.

Today I am doing the trimming that I should have already done, 

I blame it on my stupid sickness and being lazy.

I know that making sure the units are squared correctly will make the quilt better.

I'm using my Favorite Deb Tucker Trimmer, of course!

Many Comments and Likes on Facebook determined that the GREEN wasn't going to work with the Light Blue that I've run out of.  

DH is in Tri-Cities getting me another Yard. Yea for a good helper!

Then I can make more of these Clue 7 units.

It was suggested to change out the Light Bue,

 I have the Turquoise Blue and could have re-made the units- then I would be closer to finished today.

I'm stubborn and like the lighter effect.

Here's the Corner laid out last night

Linking up with Judy L HERE

First Friday of 2017- Quiltathon

I see that Judy L is having a Quiltathon HERE

I wanted to LINK-up yesterday but time got away from me.

I am still trying to get back to 'real life'!

I cut out more parts for my En Provence and for my New Grand-daughter's quilt.

I am loving cutting into my PINK Stash for her.

No sneak peeks of the finished flimsy.

This TV tray set-up is helping me keep moving on this Mystery.

Standing up to cut seems to tire me out more than sitting.

Here is my 1st Block laid out. 

 I found a darker Green in Tri-cities this week.

I'm not sure about the baby blue?

Might have to re-do those hourglass units with a Darker Blue.
I read on FB that the whole En Provence Quilt has 2,864 pieces.
I'm not sure how big mine will be yet.

What do you think?

I have printed out the 1st Block in Pat Sloan's New Block of the Month

"A Children's Library"
I still haven't selected the fabrics I will use, 

I will choose some fabrics & sew it this weekend - link up is HERE.

The forecast is for MORE of the "S" word.
The weatherman is NOT my friend.
Going out in the Sub Zero temps makes my lungs burn.

I also am working on a Knitting project for my newest Grand-daughter. 

Knitting isn't something I've done a lot for my Grnadchildren.

They requested a "Warm" dress. 

I am so thankful for help from my Lacey Lacer Knitting Teacher this week. 

I was stuck on how to embellish the hem of the skirt.

I wanted something small and I think I like this.

Here is a sneak peek for B & T

I am hoping she doesn't grow out of it before the BIG day.

 I'm almost done with it.

It needs to be blocked and the sleeves sewn together, buttons added to the back.

How do you like it, now, Tina???
