Another Week Goes By

-
Wow - these weeks go quickly. WW meeting this a.m. - was so glad to see my older leader back - even if she was sitting with us, and not actually leading the group. Having her there, made me remember what made me stick to WW in the first place. She is such a class act - from her attitude to her shoes. A boost that was definately needed. Did OK at WI - should have done way much better - but still, down is down. Still can make my goal if I lose 2 lbs a week - so I'll stick to the program. Going to put on my pedometer - doing 10,000 steps each day this week. Next week it'll be 12,000 steps. Then 14,000 steps. By June, I'll be doing 20,000 steps each day - and I know I'll be closer to goal. A friend gave me a new DVD to check out - what an idea - I'm going to put some exercise video's/dvd's on hold at the library - that way I won't get bored, and won't have an excuse. I also buy myself a new MP3 player with headphones, so I can treadmill while the kids watch TV - no more excuses !!!

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Design Floor Monday

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit
