3740650713_a9f5ff23d3Finally the last couple of days I have sat down with “Insanity” and got a little quilting done.  I am now done with row 6, which means half way through the next row I will be half way done quilting this quilt!!  I started quilting it 5 months ago – but was gone for the month of May so that isn’t bad – actually 4 months of 3741443842_d71b98bf89quilting – a total of 70 hours and 35 minutes.  Yes I am that precise.  I keep track of the hours spent on this quilt for prosperity!  It took me 490 hours and 40 minutes to piece this quilt so I will keep track of how long to quilt it also — I figured that would be a heck of a lot less time time than hand piecing that many blocks.

Photo on the left is block numbers 13 & 12.  Photo on the right are the triangle pieces for that row.  I didn’t put a lot of quilting in number 13 and I might got back and add a little more.  I think when I get totally done with the quilt I will go back and look it over and decide then if any more quilting needs to be added for it all to look right.  Most I have a lot of quilting in and not sure if the ones that don’t have as much will look right.

On the Christmas Baltimore Album border #2 I have been working on too and I’m half way done with that border.  I am working on the white flower right now and I’m almost done with that one so tomorrow I will get the last red flower glue basted in place on that.  It is moving along nicely.  I have been getting in a lot of work on the quilts since last Friday for some reason – I tend to do that – work a lot then read a lot.  I go through phases.

From the last post I had I think we all agree we have way too many patterns and not enough time to make them all!  I know I will think I have the next project picked out and then by time I get ready to make a new quilt I have changed my mind and moved on to something else that I have seen.
