- Cut koi and green batik fabrics for February NewFO
- Cut more kangaroo fabric for Kangaroo Walkabout (aka floribunda)
- Gather blue strips/strings
- Make 10 blue string blocks Saturday and 10 blocks Sunday
I cut the green sashing Friday evening. I was still a little skeptical about cutting into the koi fabric so I saved it for later in the weekend.
When I bought the kangaroo fabric I was still in my wash everything mode. I washed it and then of course it needed ironing but since I had bought the end of the bolt (at least 5 or 6 yards) it was just such an overwhelming task that it never got ironed. I sorta folded the fabric in half and wound the wrinkled mess back on the cardboard bolt. Now I have to iron a portion at a time without dragging the whole thing on the floor and then cut what I need. I am *very* tempted to wash the whole thing again and take it out of the dryer before the wrinkles are set.
Sew...I cut some strips Saturday and thought oh, I would just use up the blacks that were already cut and waiting to be used. I sewed and sewed. I was having a great time churning out more blocks. When I used up the kangaroo strips I had cut before the black was used up I decided to iron a bigger chunk and cut more strips while also pulling out more blacks.
Sunday began early with an MVA (we finally have snow!!!!) so I worked hard during the morning but began fading in the early afternoon. I did finish one audiobook and have nearly finished a second - I so love sewing along to a good book!
My *only* goal for the next week is to finish the blocks and get the top together. I am sew close there is no use relegating it to the corner when I can just gitterdone :) and I can't wait to see what it looks like!!!

You can DO it!!! It's okay if you didn't finish your list. Weekend lists don't necessarily *have* to be finished. Just good attempts made. America's Test Kitchen, huh?! :)
Love the colors of your quilt. Nice job.
Sometimes you gotta just toss that list out the window and go with the flow!
All I did was be a slug and watch season 7 of the Xfiles.
Season 8 coming up-
Take comfort in the fact that you are not alone.....
Oh, I think this quilt is a beauty! Go for it!
BTW, I love America's Test Kitchen. I catch it on Saturday while folding laundry, if I can! : )
