Cutting, Sewing and lots of progress...

Yesterday I did some cutting and sewing of some scraps.  This was another sleepless night as didn't even go to bed until after 4am.  Anyway...I cut out more of my pieces for Tumbler II and actually started sewing a few together just to see how I was going to like it.  I ended up sewing together a little over 100 sets of 2!!!  Not too shabby of a day! 
 Here I even sewed 4 together just to see...
I ended up with 8 more Windmill blocks which brings my total to 159.  I have a bunch more cut out in the colors but need to start cutting neutral pieces for it too. 
 Here is my cutting progress.  Several more pieces for my Windmill blocks and a bunch of pieces for my Tumbler II quilt. I forgot to take a photo of my neutrals that I cut.
 I also got to spend some time with this precious girl.  :)  My sister came up for a visit.  (I say "come up" because she lives a mile away at the bottom of the hill)  Anyway, Addison is so precious and makes me laugh constantly.  She is a ball of energy.  I snapped this photo while she was on her belly on the couch.  :)  Look at those big beautiful eyes!  It's hard to believe that she will be 3 months old in a few days. 
 Richard is off work for the next 2 days so I'm not sure how much sewing I will get done.  It's funny that I don't get near as much accomplished when he is home.  LOL!

maybe you will get more sleep? baby so cute and nice to be only a mile away and run back and forth - be a real part of your nieces life. So many projects going on - have fun sewing the rest of the summer!!

That little one is just so cute! It looks like you're prepared for plenty of quilting this summer. I can't wait to see your blocks come together.

Good progress, Kristie. Now get some sleep! *LOL*
What a pretty little thing Addison is. Such expressive eyes!
Your last line is something I can totally relate to in my own life. : )

You are way ahead of me! I have not even made my template for the small ones yet. I need to sew something today - maybe while the kids watch the women soccer game at 3. I didn't record the whole thing on Sunday so it is replaying today and they get to watch it. Hope you got some sleep.
