Another row is finished with the quilting. That leaves me with 3 rows of blocks and 1 row of border. I will not be able to get this finished before we leave on Saturday 
I’m not superwoman! I would have liked to but I have been too busy. I do have all my sewing supplies packed in the camper – it took longer than I thought. I decided to pack one box instead of two and combine the two projects into one box and have one large cosmetic bag with “stuff” in it. It was a tight fit but one box of sewing supplies instead of two means more room for sweatshirts and jeans which are a necessity in cooler weather!
I thought I was finished and this evening I dragged all of my Dutch Treat blocks out. I have not touched these blocks since November of last year but lately Crispy has been posting some photo’s of her enlarged blocks (she is making them at 6 inches) (mine are 4 1/2 inches). It got me to thinking of this project forgotten by the wayside. I have decided the reason I lost interest in it was because I haven’t been pleased with the work I have been doing with it.
I do not want to start over again by enlarging the blocks but I think if I redesign the blocks just a tad to make them a little easier I might finish it — mind you I said might! I am going to bring a couple of these blocks along and make curves a 
little easier – maybe drop out some little sections altogether and see what happens. Maybe I will get back to it – and maybe I won’t we will see what happens. I have put a few patterns and fabric blocks in a zip lock bag with the thread and will toss it in the cupboard of the camper with the other sewing items – if I work on them I do – if not it will most likely end up as a wall hanging and be done with it this winter – I’ll let you know what I decide to do with it.
I have never had a UFO they have always been WIP (works in progress – but not totally forgotten!). I have not liked the feeling of not working on this quilt.
I did get finished with the quilting on Row J of “Insanity” and here are the photo’s of the last blocks and triangles of that row.
