OMG...

The last block has been made for my Primitive Primer and all the blocks are sewn together.


Don't look too closely at my star burst block.  It was a real bugger to make.  I spent 4 days on it and finished it up this morning.  It is paper pieced and appliqued....and it was too big.  Bummer.  I started crying...all that time and all that work.  Then I figured it is suppose to be primitive, right.  So I whacked it down to size.  It is off kilter but it is growing on me.

I sewed all the blocks together, an achievement in itself.  I like how it looks. I need to cut the borders now.  I can't add the top pieced border until I add the applique border.  This will have to wait till tomorrow.  It's 5:30 pm and I am beat.  So no more sewing until tomorrow.  (Unless I do a little hand quilting later).

Now don't forget about my final giveaway....


You can enter here.  You have until Friday evening.  I will pick a winner on Saturday March 1.

And a big yippee!!!  Finally got the last of the paperwork to file my income tax.  So glad I am all done.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Cathy

Love your Prim Primer! It looks fantastic! And good for you for making your block work. I know it was hard to cut it down, but it looks perfect for the quilt. It looks like it was meant to be that way!

Congrats on the tax finish! What a chore, huh?
