Wednesday I told you that I was hurrying along with my UFO Texas Tumbleweed and was trying to hurry the quilt along. Â I laughed a bit when a reader left a comment that said they would hate my running a deadline this close. Â I’ve ran deadlines MUCH-MUCH-Much closer. Â I believe I work best under pressure. Â The pressure makes me concentrate on one thing!! Â I’m a bit of a squirrel if I don’t have a deadline. Â I run from project to project never completing any. Â A deadline gives me a focus.
So how do you think I’m doing at chasing the deadline?
I’m loving the look and was really-really excited until…you guessed it, I didn’t have enough blocks. Â I need four more chain blocks. Â The good news is that I have parts of the blocks-just not all. Â It should be a quick hour and I’ll have them done and the last row sewn on as I already have enough of the “star” type blocks. Â After that, it’s on to borders. Â I have the outer border picked but need to pick the inner border and binding. Â I don’t have many batiks here that are over a yard so it’s going to be a challenge and might require a trip to town.
My hope is that I will have it as a top over the weekend…That means I’ll have two weeks to machine quilt and bind it. Â That’s not bad at all. Â It’s totally do-able! Â I have to say, I’m really enjoying the batiks. Â There will be more batik quilts in my future for sure!!
Stop back here on Wednesday and I’ll update you again on where I am at with this quilt.
I so wish I could sew that quickly—it is something that you got this together that fast…..
Very beautiful. I too work better under stress. I was told I did that at work too. I just finished a Bonnie quilt and got it sent out to be quilted. It is going to someone else so I wanted to get it done for her.
This looks really great…I also work best with a dead line….I do not have ducks in a row, I also have squirrels and they’re at a rave …lol 😀
Lovely!
I so envy you your Texas Tumbleweed. It’s on my list. I am a Bonnie Hunter follower, and
have many of her books. I love the fact that you are so “scrappy”.
