Thank you. I've got my fingers crossed which is why it is probably going so slow. lol.

I have 86 pieces to set on the quilt top yet and then I can sandwich the quilt. Daunting lol.

Wow, daunting is right. Good luck.

Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to you finishing

Me too. Then I'll only have 6 window and one bed quilt to go, lol.

I'm manic. I know because I started two more quilt tops and the stained glass isn't finished. One is a block of the month from the Quilting Board Forum and then the other one is for a beginner's machine piecing class that I'm taking at the quilt shop so I finally learn what I'm suppose to be doing. We'll see how that goes. Wish me luck.

I almost finished the Honey Bee (1st block) for the BOM quilt and I was pressing it when it scorched. There were something that I didn't like about the block so this was the perfect opportunity to change them. So I ripped out the outside border changed the colors and resewed them. Now all I have to do is cut out the petals again and then sew them onto the block. I'm thinking I will fuse it.

Oops two was buying the fabric for the Beginner's Machine Piecing Class. I bought it at walmart and ended up with drapery fabric. Not good for a beginning quilter I was told. So 77 dollars later I had all new fabrics. Hopefully there won't be any more errors of that type. See what happens when I try and save a few pennies.

The Stained Glass is still sticking me with pins everytime I touch it so I'm still not making much progress.

Pretty...

Thanks guys. I don't have new pictures but I will. It's just taking time to get everything done.

The Machine Piecing and Machine Quilting classes have helped a lot. In fact they may answer the questions concerning the butterfly quilt as well. It's just going to take a lot of practice.

Tina · « **Reply #72 on:** Mar 28, 2015, 02:05:36 PM »

Good. We all do better when we learn new things. Not just in quilting, in every aspect in life.

duh · « **Reply #73 on:** Apr 03, 2015, 11:49:03 AM »

The mini art quilt isn't as good as I had hoped but it's a start.

duh · « **Reply #74 on:** Apr 06, 2015, 10:17:14 AM »

I added the titles to the books and the numbers to the clock. It looks much better now but I learned that the fabric softener sheets do not make good tear away fabrics lol. Live and learn.
