I had a tight deadline to get the pink quilt done by Saturday and then it got even tighter. I ended up not being able to go to the baby shower, so I had to finish it sooner to drop it off to the organizer.

| Groovy pink baby quilt |
Pedal to the metal. Got it done on Wednesday evening and still got my report cards done by Friday. What a week!

| Perfect backing! |
I used up nearly all the groovy pink strips from the Greenville trip, lots of random pink, and some purple. For the backing/binding I used nearly all the magenta that has been in the stash forever because it bleeds so badly. It was perfect for this project, so I washed it three times until the wash water ran clean.
Long, long week and then came Friday. It was rainy so we had rainy day recess on a Friday that was also the last day of the quarter and the start of a 3-day weekend for the students and the end of a full moon week. I left school as quickly as I could and made a stop at my favorite thrift store as a consolation prize!

| Who knew a small bag could hold 600 squares? |
Didn't find what I was looking for, but I did find a bag of precut 2" squares. I am trying so hard to use up what I have, so I hesitated. Then I realized that was a lot of neutrals that I could combine with the overflowing 2" strip drawer which is low on neutrals and get things used up faster. I counted when I got home. $2 for approximately 600 squares/1.67 yards. It's worth it just for the labor of not cutting that many squares!
15 Minutes to Stitch
Congrats on finishing the baby quit with such a tight deadline. It's very bold and bright. And crongrats on getting your grade cards done, that's a lot for one week. You still did well with your stitching time with it being such a busy week. Hope the pace for this next week is a bit slower.
ReplyDeleteYeah for finishing the quilt right in time! The bag of precuts seems to be just what you needed! Enjoy your long weekend! Thank you for sharing and linking up, hugs.
