Well, it's almost Tuesday, but here's the progress on my 9-patch quilt:
I'm so sick of this quilt that I'm not going to make it as big as the book has it. I love the quilt and it will be beautiful, but I can't keep this up. The time and fabric I've put into this is more than I should have. Since I strip pieced it instead of cutting up zillions of 1 inch squares, I used 4 times as much background fabric than what the pattern said. You can only get about 7-8 blocks a 22 inch strip.
I'll add some borders and call it quits. I want the blocks to "float" with a white border and then a small purple border. If I feel brave, maybe add a white border with a small flower/leave applique around it.
I'm heading to bed. For the first time in 8 years I get to sleep in a bed with DH in it on a weekday instead of just weekends. And tomorrow and the next day...Life is good.
