When I flipped the calendar to August I starting thinking about the weeks I had ahead of me.
With a visit from my folks and starting our second grade homeschool year taking up the second half of the month, I thought I should be practical.
I will probably not be able to find time to sew.
At least not at my machine.
I still have lots of hand sewing to do with those two bindings and the hand quilting on my Horizons.
So I decided to take the nine days I have left and just make as many farmgirl blocks as I can.
So this is the progress I made.
Old Glory
Old Red Barn
Out to Pasture
Patchwork Pumpkin
Peas and Carrots
Pie Cherries
Pinwheels
Postage Stamp
Scrappy Maple Leaf
I was able to get twenty blocks sewn in four days.
Considering I'm single parenting I am giving myself a pat on the back.
I still have three blocks left to make.
In the book they are additional simple stars.
I might decide to make a different block.
Either way, I will be able to pick it back up when the quilt along-ers are getting ready to finish.
And I should not single parenting by then!
