Sorry for teasing you girls! The living room floor is the only place I have that's big enough to lay anything out. I didn't have the houses sewn together or pinned but I had them placed where I want them so I didn't want to move them.

The swap was the actual blocks and a noodle to match the block. It was an easy block. The noodles gave us some fabric to match the blocks that we could use as sashes or borders. I really liked the blocks that I received.

Abigail and Bransmom, congrats on your finishes! They are beautiful!

Today I had to work on my lotto blocks, I'm sooooo far behind on everything. So I sew about 4 hours, but not on any of my Madness Projects. There are still 4 days left, so I'm so hoping to get 2 more finishes!

Thanks, DJ, I hope you're doing all right. Catch up with you all Tursday. carol/kittyquilt

I looked at everyone's finished projects again, girls you should be proud. We all have made unbelieveable progress this month.

Last Project-Blazing Star 1 1/2 hours. I am just about finished.

I spread the quilt out on the bed today and had a long look--I can't beleive it is taking me this much time on the silly border. It isn't that difficult, but it has given me fits.

I agree Redtop, we’ve gotten so much done this month. I know I can’t believe how much I have accomplished. I hope to finish the flannel one this month, but don’t think I’ll get the Brandy one done, but still 4 out of 5 ain’t bad! ha ha
