DOH

I wanted to get all the pieces of the baby quilt sewn together yesterday.  I cut the strips.  I filled the bobbin with white thread.  I started sewing.  I thought I was careful.  Do you see a problem here?

Is that a distress signal when the boats are upside down?  Well, I had to take that row off.
Who needs to pin?  In a perfect world it all fits.  Blocks are the same size, strips are the same size, seam allowances are the same size, it all fits, right?  No.  Again I had to take off another row because it wasn't straight and I ended up way off.  ARGH.  So I pinned and hung my head in shame that I am so lazy that I didn't want to pin.
Now the front is one piece.

It turned out way bigger than I expected.  Whatever.  So now, what to do on the back?  I could just get a big old piece of material for the whole back or I could be creative.  I have more of the sweet "Guess How Much I Love You" fabric that I would like to use.  I just have to figure out how I am going to put it together.

Great news on the Quaker Bag!  Here I was yesterday:

Disgusted and ready to quit. But I am tenacious.  Really.  I have too much done on this sucker to give up.
Today:

I did it!!!  Panel three is done!!  There was a lot of stitching on this one.  I'll have to look back on this blog to see when I started it to know how long this took.  I already know the answer:  too long.
