The Quilt Continues... Finally

In the midst of everything else, the quilt has sat, in all its pieces, on my kitchen table, waiting for me to work on it. And this weekend I FINALLY went to work on it! Each square is composted of three main sections, so Thursday night I sewed two of those together - on a curve. A lot of pinning and lining up. It took more time to pin than it did to sew and iron. And Friday night I added on the third main section, also sewing on a curve. I've discovered that time disappears when sewing. I'll just be absorbed into the project, sewing "just one more" piece, and I look up and 4 or 5 hours have passed. It's like a time warp. This was the case both nights. Saturday I was pretty excited to sew all the squares together and finish the top. This is when my machine decided to revolt. Bad timing. A couple hours on the road, no solution and some frustrated moments and I barely managed to get the top done. But it is. *WHEW* I even fused the batting onto the top and bottom layers and am ready to start quilting! :)
