I've had this on my design wall for a few days now and I am slowly getting the blocks appliqued. I almost have the 8th block finished. This quilt will have 20 blocks, a 4x5 setting and will measure something like 90/110 so it will be a big one. It will be bordered with the same dark brown print that is in the sashings. Linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday.
I should have block 8 finished sometime today or at least I hope too.
I need to straighten up my sewing room and put several things away. It is horrible. I was up there last night prepping a block and I could barely find the ironing board. :)

You know me....jumping from project to project. I've had a lot on my mind the past few days so I have just been doing a little mindless applique.
I've had 20 of the Dresden's done for a couple of years but I don't have them appliqued to the background squares. So out of 20 of them, I have 6 completely finished and I am working on number 7. This will be a big quilt. Once it is finished it will measure 90/110.
Sunday after Church we had dinner at my mom's. My brother got there before we did and this is what I saw when I walked in the kitchen. My silly brother, John always gives me a hard time. He knows that I LOVE mom's bread. We had a great time with lots of fun and laughs.
That's all for tonight, I am going to work on block #7 while watching some tv. Richard has thrown his back out so he has been in the recliner most of the day. He worked last night with it like that and wasn't even able to stand up straight.

It has been a long day and I am sooooo ready for bed! Still no water and my iron died a few minutes ago! LOL! I'll just quit for the day and go to bed! Richard is working tonight, Andrew worked today but is not upstairs playing guitar and my little Hunter is asleep in the recliner. Still no school for tomorrow so he has had an extra week off school due to the weather.
Last night I got a little bored and started counting out my bow ties in sets of 9 and sewing the 300 that I had finished into 9 patches. That way it will go together a little faster as I get the other million bow ties finished. :) I have 1/4 of the blocks pieced for the quilt.
Here are a few of the 9 patch bow ties sewn together. I have a bunch more to sew but since my iron died I decided to just stop for the night.
Here are a few more that I ended up making as leaders/enders while piecing the 9 patch bow ties.
One good thing for the day....look what arrived in the mail today. :) A wonderful little gift that is sooooo me! :) Richard laughed and said that maybe now I could keep up with how much time I was spending in the sewing room. :) I love it!
I'm off to bed now, for some much needed rest!
