Most of the weekend was spent getting Bejeweled ready for quilting. The back was pieced on Friday, then pressed, prepped and packaged on Saturday. Sunday it was the same process for the top. Everything is in the box and ready to ship.
My January One Monthly Goal was to get Bejeweled shipped out for quilting. Hopefully I'll be well enough to get this to the post office tomorrow, but for now I'm calling it good. Getting quilts prepped for quilting is the longest process and one I don't enjoy. So having the backing and top in the box ready to go is definite progress.
Other than piecing the back for Bejeweled, not much happened at the sewing machine this weekend. Geometry is my current focus project, but I did stick my finished block 1 and all the block 3's for the Meadow Mist Mystery up on the design wall to see how those were working.

I used two different black prints for my darks. I've been seeing guesses of the layouts on Facebook, mine's probably not going to be as dramatic as others since you really can't tell the difference in the two black prints unless you get up close. I'm still working on finishing the last set of blocks from December. I still have the January clue to finish. The big reveal comes this Thursday. Thankfully I'll have till April to get the blocks into a finished flimsy.
Now I'm going to find a box of Kleenex and go back to bed. Hopefully I'll feel like catching up on all the other links later today.

Oh, that looks like a really interesting design, love the black and white.
Now I have to go and look at another temptation! Black and white is a favourite of mine.
Where are you sending your quilt to be quilted?

So sorry your weekend ended on a crappy note, and I hope you feel better soon!! Congrats on making your January OMG....packed and in the box definitely counts. :) I've decided that my February goal will be to finish Cheryl's first mystery quilt - I think there's been two since then! LOL
Hope that you can kick this flu asap!!
Hope you are feeling better today and able to get Bejeweled to the post office. Congrats and meeting your OMG!
Congrats on meeting the January goal! I know how difficult meeting a goal can sometimes be.
I think your black and white mystery is quite dramatic. Love black and white...so classic!
Feel better soon!
Let's hope you are overdosing on OJ and the cold/headache and whatever leaves as fast as it came. Maybe next week you'll have more time to sew among all the rest you do.
Hope you are better right away!!! Congrats on getting Bejewelled ready to go... not my favorite parts of quilting either, but nice to be done.
Hope you are feeling better!
Praying your better soon. Congrats on your finish.
I'm anxious to see Bejeweled after it's returned from the quilter. Hope you are feeling better and were able to make it to the Post Office.
Congrats on getting your quilt ready to go - hope you're feeling better by now!
