We chatted away the morning and then about 1 p.m. we went out to lunch with our Dad and then they both left around 2:30 to go to my great-nephew's last basketball game. But I bowed out saying I really wanted to get some quilting done. This is how far I got today and I am one happy camper!!
First step was to sew a 3-1/2 inch piece onto the 6-1/2 inch piece. So far so good. But then when I got to step 2 I only looked at the picture and DIDN'T read the instructions - sooooooooo I sewed all 12 pieces instead of only 6 pieces.
I spent the next hour or so picking out 6 of the sewn pieces. YES, this is a wonderfully simple quilt IF one reads the instructions!! Oh my, what a concept!!!
Then I cut the 6 pieces into 2 x 6-1/2 inch units and 2 x 3-1/2 inch units.
Then I made new 8 pieces using the 3-1/2 inch pieces and cut them into 2 x 6-1/2 inch units and 2 x 3-1/2 inch units.
These are all the different units that are going to be made into the 3 different blocks.
These are full sets of the 2 of the 3 different blocks and that is as far as I got tonight!!!
This is going to be quite the gorgeous quilt!! Love it!! :-)

I think you got quiet far today for your limited sewing time. Family comes first. This is going to be so,so pretty.
Kris, I have that problem- not reading the instructions properly and only looking at the pics- so consequently I do a lot of unpicking! Your YBR is going to be so pretty when you've finished it!
