Oops, I did it again... twice.

I'm going to participate in TWO "a-longs"!

The first "a-long" is crazymomquilt's one a day. It sounds so easy... just make one 6x6 nine patch block a day. And we can use scraps for this -- BONUS! In no time, I'll have enough blocks for an entire quilt top! I already made two blocks on my lunch break. Plan on sewing a few more after work tonight. I'm behind, but I should catch up quickly.



The other "a-long" is Old Red Barn Co.'s quilt-along.

She is going to show us all the steps of creating a quilt. I already have the "mechanics" of this project, but still need to gather my fabrics. Another excuse to go to the fabric store? Yippee. :)

The best part of this quilt-along... there are prizes involved.

Including a new sewing machine! WOO-HOO!

Sorry to be off topic, but how was your tri? Would love to hear about it!!

Can't wait to see the results of the quilt-alongs, too :)

The tri was good... The weather was unbelievably "cool" on Sunday morning. We were SHIVERING before we got into the water. And yesterday I saw your post about training for the Danskin!

I'll do a post about the race in a few days. :)
