People are starting to ask if I'm alright, so here's me waving cheerily. (These days, I worry about people too when they go silent for a bit. I'll try to do better.)
I'm actually spending more time procrastinating than sewing, so I don't have much to show for all that time. (I have reviewed a considerable amount of material on Pinterest, though, which is a procrastinator's dreamsite)
I got Bonnie Hunter's Unity up to this point -
which is the end of Clue #5. (My design wall isn't flat, which is why my quilt isn't either. We all make do with what we've got.)
That round of friendship stars for Clue #4 really kicked my butt, and I still can't figure out why. They're not hard to make and there aren't that many of them, but they just seemed endless. Of course it didn't help that no matter how many I made, my count kept coming up short. I can't tell you how many times I needed 'just four more'. Maybe they were kicking my butt just before taking off into a black hole...
Clue #6 was just a metric butt-ton of HSTs, so if I can keep them from leaping into that black hole after the stars, I should have a good start on them when Clue #7 drops tomorrow. (I've only got about 1/3 of them sewn together, but I've got platefuls of triangles cut out and stacked by the sewing machine)
Wish me luck!
Linking with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap! (And at some point I hope to get back to the RSC every week, if I can cut down on the procrastinating...)
Oh! Hi there, stranger. It's so good to have you back in Blogland. I love your rendition of Unity. Great progress for a procrastinator, lol. I am guilty of following the procrastinator's dreamsite too. Sigh! Hope to see you more often. Hugs. ;^)
ReplyDeleteMissed you! Unity is looking good. I love a good medallion.l
ReplyDeleteYour Unity looks great.
ReplyDeleteI must be doing Pinterest wrong or something. It rarely shows me anything I am interested in, and is full of ads for stuff I don't want.
Your unity quilt is coming along quite nicely. Even though you have been procrastinating.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
Ahhh Pinterest —- time hog king / queen. Your top is looking great!
ReplyDeleteI've been admiring all the Unity quilts. My participation has been limited to printing out all the clues. There are so many articles (print and online) about managing during quarantine. One columnist wrote about not-feeling-guilty about not getting more done, saying that at first the temptation is to set ambitious goals ("during the next six weeks I will spend an hour a day learning French!" "I will cook dinner using a different recipe every night.") -- and that just chilling can be therapeutic. [Don't ask me how many hours I have NOT spent on Ancestry.com.]
ReplyDeleteUnity looks wonderful! I'm impressed that you're keeping up, with those those metric tons of pieces and parts to make. Way to go, Gayle!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI know all about that blackhole - I lose blocks down it all the time. (I refuse to believe that I just can't count.)
Your Unity is looking super! Glad you found all your Friendship stars eventually :)
ReplyDeleteRound four did my head in too, not sure why as I normally like HST. But after two weeks of trying and failing to make more, I just went with top and bottom and called the quilt finished! Yours looks great, congratulations for persisting.
ReplyDeletegreat job on unity
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in! At least you have clues...Lately I've been clueless!
ReplyDeleteUnity is looking good! Carry on!
I not planning to make this one. I'm already overcommitted, so I enjoy seeing your progress even more. It gets prettier every week.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that this is one of Bonnie's quilts which I particularly like and I've been watching her progress round by round.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is coming along quickly and how many more rounds to go now?
You really are the master of medallions...and I do know some just refer to you as mom.
ReplyDeleteAnd I definitely have the ... “maybe I’ll do something interesting tomorrow and I’ll post about it then” blues.
Loving your progress on your medallion!
ReplyDeleteI've been procrastinating more than usual lately too. I blame the coronavirus. Your top is looking great though!
