Here are some photos I took last night after completing the sewing going one way:

For a refresher on what the new quilt looks like go here and here

My new quilt is now all sewn together one way. I even replaced one of the triangles I’d added last night, using a darker orange. I like it. I think the triangles are there but not distracting. We’ll see. Took me awhile tonight to sew the “hunks” together and then I took some documenting photos. Guess I’ll have to wait to start sewing it all together the other way. Those are long seams but there aren’t quite as many of them….

Last night while the Oscars ceremony was on, I worked on my new quilt, adding small triangles of bright pinks, oranges, golds to some of the grey squares. Now that that is done, I can sew the rows.

At lunch today, I un-sewed some of my Amish-inspired nine patch quilt top. Some of those seams were no where near actually matching. wow. It looks better already, even though it has a bunch of holes in it.

Today was my last day of being “inventory guy” at work. Not having to be at work at 8 AM will seem like a wonderful thing to me. whooo hoooo! And I think I figured out most things so the regular guy will only have to check things out to make sure everything is cool.

Wow! 5300 visitors since July. How cool is that? Just happened to be the number on the stats page when I looked this morning.

Still miffed at silly ol’ shoot-ourselves-in-the-foot Tripod. Let’s see – more traffic is better but if you get too much, we’re shutting you down – Tripod. Sooner or later someone will say to them – you are supposed to be giving me 1 Gig a Day and because you shut me down for two hours as people were coming to my site I only got 32 MB or 64 MB – where’s the rest of my Gig? OK, there, I’ve said it!
