Work In Progress Wednesday

Happy hump day!  I’m currently a phlegmy, snotty mess (apologies for that visual if you were eating!) but the net effect has been that I didn’t venture out last weekend to get the replacement bit for my bag because really I wanted to stay home and nurse my germs.  Since I didn’t have the bag to finish though, it did let me crack on with my Schnitzel & Boo Mini Quilt Swap until I was going a little bit cross eyed with paper pieced bits (64 sections in case you were wondering)  My partner is remaining elusive, but I hope it fits the bill (and apologies to my partner if I’ve missed you too!)

Finishes This Week:

In Progress This Week:

This is what 64 paper pieced mini sections look like:

And this is what the 16 different sections sewn together look like (the colours are more accurate here from the camera):

And now I have a half sewn together as of last night but there were a lot of swear words at one particular junction in that half, so I didn’t take its photo as punishment ;o)

To Be Worked On This Week:

Get the bag done
Finish the mini top without more swear words
Start on my project for Poppies & Polka Dots

Hope you all have a great week!  Linking up with Lee and the gang:

    Sorry you are snotty, but that paper piecing looks pretty bee-you-ti-flu! Hope you feel better soon.

    Be gone yucky bugs! Lovely colours in your swap quilt … I hope your partner shows their hand soon, that can be frustrating.

    You'll have to get out less. I expect it was a French bug not happy with the result on Sunday 🙂 Take care. As for the colours, I hope everyone has a calibrated screen so they can enjoy them in their glory – the colours I mean.

    Good luck with the stitching without swear words, let us know how that works out 🙂

    Hope you are feeling much better soon. A few hours in front of the TV this weekend watching prime examples of male flesh throwing an oval ball around and some medicinal alcohol should do the trick!
