Oh Joy! I didn't actually, work on Joy's quilt other than to get affirmation from Denise that an 8" block is exactly what she wants. With the corner triangles! Oh Joy indeed! I'll get those 6 blocks cut this morning, and get started sewing on butterflies, perhaps.
I got another 8 string blocks sewn, too. I'm up to 140 blocks - 4 more (today) will give me a top that's 90" square. A King sized mattress is 76 x 84, so I'll have that covered. I'm thinking, though, that 104 x 97 1/2 (182 blocks) or 104" square (196 blocks) is a better goal. But I'm 4 blocks away from covered! Woohoo! We've been shopping for a new bed - oh let's be honest! We've been here 6 years and are still sleeping on the rails that came with the mattress and box spring. Hmmm... can I get the quilt done before Scott agrees to ANY of the beds I like? The race is on!
It feels like fall is on the way, and I couldn't be happier. I love autumn, it's my favourite season. And autumn in New England? It gets no better.
