It's hot today here in MO, heat index is 106 they say, so after having to make a shopping run, and putting things away, I thought I would spend a little time on my quilt projects.
Before DH decided we should barbecue I managed to get in:
45 min on project 1 improved 9-patch
45 min on project 5 cutting blocks of friendship star swap
So far so good!
Why is it men barbecue, and get the credit and women do the work?

That is an age old question Mary!! LOL! They stand there and flip the meal on the grill while you have prepared it and will then clean up afterwards! They did good!! (Don't forget the praise!)

Question:

I finished #3, but, only used 3.5 of the 6 hours we're supposed to have on a project. Guess I mis-calculated or worked faster than usual. LOL Sooo, in order to be fair, should I add a second project onto #3 and then when that project is completed, have it counted as a finish? I've got 2 T20 college quilts (ASU & VT)that need binding and that should be about 3+ hours of work. Let me know what you all think.

In the meantime, I'm going to work one of the other 4 that are waiting. I'll post my time in a little while.

Thanks,
Deanne
