A Few More Blocks...

Richard was home from work today so I didn't get as much sewing done as I wanted to. There was not enough coal for him to haul today, so he had the day off. We do need the money but it was nice to have him home catching up on some of the things here!

I did get more of the blocks cut out for the Turkey Tracks quilt. My plan was to just cut out all 42 blocks, put them in a shoebox and they would be ready to piece when I got a few other things done. But...you know me....I get sidetracked very easily! I wanted to finish my red and white quilt first but I didn't even work on it today. I ended up piecing 2 more Turkey Track blocks! This only makes me 3 of them so far and I still need to cut a few more out.

Do you remember my "Tic-Tac-Toe" quilt that I was working on a few weeks ago? I wasn't thrilled with the blocks after I started it, but I didn't want it to end up being a UFO, so I decided to make 9 blocks, add a border and make it a lap quilt. I made 2 more blocks today, now I only need ONE more block and I can add the border!!
Hopefully, I can finish the other "Tic-Tac-Toe" block tomorrow and I will have to dig in my stash for border fabric. Oh, and I also worked on some small 9 patches today, while piecing these blocks. I have a quilt in mind for the 9 patches when I get enough of them made.
Have a wonderful day!
