Can't Even Celebrate

Everybody on IG are posting their caricature pics with what they love to do. Here's mine...

Yep. That's me!

When I finish a quilt for a customer, much like our Olympians, a celebration day would certainly be welcome. Unfortunately, the beat must go on and today I'll be working on this quilt on Marty...

For a nephew

This has a March deadline and it's quickly approaching meaning more quilts get pushed back to meet deadlines. 

I'm trying a new-to-me batting today. It's called Dream Puff and it mimics wool but is 100% denier poly. It's a dream to feel and snuggle with and will bring absolute warmth to the quilt. 

After getting Julies quilt quilted (I still need to do the post quilt work on it), I made myself walk away from the machine. It was nearing 5:30 and I knew if I started doing other things with it...well, you know how I work. One things leads to another and before you know it another hour has passed.

I pieced a Fireworks and a Scrappy block last night before jumping onto DW to do my 11th strip. I checked out the AQS block for this week (New Mexico) and it has me printing templates. WHAT? Didn't we toss templates out in the early 90's? This should be interesting.
