I do get up to press! I can see why the charity quilt would be lots faster if you use wider strips. Bigger blocks would mean less sashing strips - which are a PAIN with pre-quilted blocks - if I remember correctly!!Truffle queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491841386689450441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-84429660441024872172011-06-19T10:09:56.489-04:002011-06-19T10:09:56.489-04:00What I need to do is make room on my computer desk...What I need to do is make room on my computer desk for my sewing machine!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688785042826378058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-50700614617058025632011-06-19T09:31:02.056-04:002011-06-19T09:31:02.056-04:00Hi Rosemary!

Yesterday afternoon I took a break and went upstairs to sew together some vintage quilt blocks that my hubby's grandmother made.

Imagine the laws they would have to pass if that happened:) I like the idea of quilting as you go, and commend you for doing it as part of charity donations.
