Still Getting Ready

 This is one of the quilts I really wanted to get done while on our girls trip. I had everything cut out in case I could find the time.
 Yesterday since I only had Mason man I started stitching up a few squares, 72 to be exact.
 Then moved on to trimming them all up.
 What the heck, might as well put a few of the whole quilt squares together.
 Tonight I finished the last of the quilt squares 24 in all. This quilt top will for sure be done over the weekend!
Now on to the clean up before bed, UGH

I was so into making quilt squares after Mason left yesterday I just kept at it....until WAY past my bedtime. I paid dearly for that late night today I can tell you. After dropping off  Mason and Karsyn today I jumped in to finish the rest of the quilt squares then packed them up. I am afraid this quilt is going to turn out a little to white for my tastes but until its put together I won't know.

My food basket is ready to go along with all the recipes, laundry is done and clothes are packed. In the morning I hope to finish packing the car so we can get on the road Saturday morning bright and early. 

I am keeping track of the time I have put into this quilt, so far 19 hours. I have had many ladies ask how long it takes me to make one of the larger quilts. I have no idea, maybe I can remember to track the rest of the time it takes so I have a better idea of the time involved.

Off to sweep the floor then on to bed at a reasonable hour tonight. I have all 3 little ones as well as pick up and delivery since SIL #1 is out of town. Nothing like fighting morning rush hour traffic then back at it in the afternoon Friday night rush hour. I HATE DRIVING!!!

  7. If you find the quilt too white can you make any changes or are you stuck with it the way it is?
    Have fun on your girl's weekend!
