Design Wall Monday

If you are looking for a lot of new progress you might want to pass

on me and go to the next wall!! But, if you take time to look you will

see that my 9 patches have gone from 24 last Monday

to 54 this Monday! With my energy level very low

this week after Christmas ....that's some accomplishment.In keeping it real here at the first Monday

of the New Year .....this shows the

wall as it is. I should be getting the

next two black and white Buck a Blocks

this week if I make it to the shop.

I think it is two each month starting

in January.

As you can see I did not get my Christmas wall hanging

finished. I did get it squared up a little better

and worked on the back of those pinwheels.

I'll tell you, when working on the backs of those

I can sure tell it was my first project....they

did not fan out hardly at all....needed one

of those whack it hammers I have seen to

flatten them out. With poking and picking with

the seam ripper and iron I got them smashed

as flat as they are going to go. I am not really sure how I am going to quilt

this, stipple would be good but I don't do that

very well yet.

One reason besides time and energy that I did

not get it finished was that the backing I had

bought for it was not enough. So today

I dug around in my totes and found this

Santa fabric and I think it will work pretty good.

Happy New Year!
