Thanks for the extra time, @Iminei .  I'll be sure to use every  minute of it (mainly looking for the fabric for the joining strips). :*

Dear lot, you guys are wonderful, and your quilts for the BOM are absolutely stunning. Sadly, I didn't make it...life has been complicated at best, with a very fragile business to shore up and the added excitment/stress of hopefullyifnothingfallsthroughthistime...buying the house we have been waiting for, for the past five years. Yes I know that sounds obsessive, and  a long story lies therein. The upshot of it is zero free time, until today. Literally. We usually close over the Christmas school break, but this year had needed to maintain the minimum, so little in the way of rest. This, by the way, is no whinge, and i am not unhappy with the status quo (stressed, massively) but I did think that I needed to explain to you all, why I sorta had to give up and disappear off the threads in October...
I am happy I participated, even if I couldn't finish in the time...sounds pretty weak, one simple quilt over a 12 month period, but life has just played out that way.  Having said that, I have learned a lot, and will continue to do so, as I WILL finish, and when I do, large or small, I will bring it on here for you to see.
If you see me with a seam ripper, now is not a good time

And finally the last block is quilted.  This is not a BOM block but is one that RJR-38 posted about.




It will be assembled as soon as I can find the fabric for the joining strips.

Thanks, @Lowena .  It’s quite different from my usual palette. 

I’m looking at the pic now and thinking, “Should I swap those two?”  I may need to lay them out again.   :thinking:

Oh how lovely to be sewing again.
It took a while to get into the n'swing' but nw the final column is finished and the joining strips are cut and ready to go/

What a difference to the machine. The walking foot feels as if it is gripping and the footplate teeth are doing their job.
Wouldn't mind getting rainbow quilt back -erm -naa!
No slipping tension all lovely and even - can't say same about quilt but I'm not perfect.
Hoping to have it done and dusted by the weekend now  :D

I have just spent the last hour and a halfish botchingpatching a major mistake I had not noticed until I came to add the sashing.
Done it now so will continue after lunch when I hope to have CALMED down.

Yes please it was a levi(or was it?) label on bright green, mm- fabric will be sent for it if I could possibly have your address
Strong yellow italic font
If it is ever finished it should match.
