Almost!

There are only thirty unquilted squares. I will totally get this done. The kids are pretty good about not climbing on me or the quilt during Sesame Street. Between that and quilting at night it's been moving along. But only thirty left. That means also that I can take a little breather from quilting this weekend.
Once all the square are quilted, there is still the matter of finishing it. It shouldn't be too terrible, but it is a king (CA king as a matter of fact) size quilt. Just that length of the sides means it will take a while to actually finish. A couple nights at least. I have to trim the edges and then fold and pin it all. Then sew it. With my new machine that part will be a breeze. The hardest part will be finding room on my desk to maneuver it.
Expect more excited updates.

Yes you should take a break from quilting this weekend. Just reading about it makes me tired. What will you do? Hopefully you have some girly things netflixed! ;)

I actually have twilight coming. I'm prepping for someday seeing New Moon. Nathan's week off is coming up. Maybe I'll force him to take me, but most likely not. I'm not that mean.
