I spent last week quilting, trying to get the backlog of tops reduced. Being sick, and visiting family, made me very behind. I did 3 quilts for one lady, only 3 more left to do, and then I have one more top to quilt for a friend. I didn't achieve much sewing, I'm pretty wiped out after a day of quilting, so I only managed a few more star blocks, and some Split 9-Patches. I'm rather tired of them, so on the weekend I dug out another project to see if I could hurry it along a bit.

I added 7 blocks to the ones already made. I need to find a name for them in EQ8. They are very undemanding blocks to make, there aren't any difficult bits to match up. I started them to use up 2.5" strips, but they didn't make a dent, hence the Split 9-Patch, which has diminished them. Thank goodness.

This is the next project I want to work on. I already have 20 blocks, and pieces for many more cut and kitted. It's about time I moved it forward. I last worked on this in February of this year, so I have had a nice little break from it.

I've been working on the borders for my Stickle quilt, and have one side finished. I don't know whether to join them to the centre as I finish them, or wait till they are all pieced. I think it would be rather encouraging to get at least one border attached to the mother ship.
