Working Towards a Finish

The last three or four weeks haven't been especially conductive to sewing room time. First the shoulder and then my back issues required me to reduce my activities, including stitching. Consequently I'm not where I'd like to be on the Stay at Home Round Robin.  The final parade is up today at Quilting Gail's.  We have till next Monday to link up which is good because my version is still in lots of pieces.  



Border 3 with the hourglass blocks is assembled.  The corresponding spacer border has also been added.  



Border 4's flying geese are all made and are slowly being sewn together.  One border has been stitched to the top, three more to go.  



All the paper piecing templates have been printed for border 5's square in a square blocks.  These are the last 2 green squares I'll need, but I still need to sort through the blue scraps to find centers for ten more blocks.  


 
These windmill blocks take a lot of assembly. There's one more in pieces over at the sewing machine.  I still have a lot more of these to make.  

My plan is to keep working on these bits and pieces.  I'm hoping of  to link up with the final parade later this week with all but border 6 completed.  We'll see how that goes. 

Linking up with Design Wall Monday and Patchwork & Quilts today.

    You have all my sympathy for your shoulder and back. As you know, my shoulder has been throwing a wrench in my quilting plans as well. But the pieces you have finished are lovely, and your color scheme is gorgeous.

    Hopefully your shoulder and back will be pain free soon. The colors in your SAHRR are so pretty - makes me think of tropical water and foliage.

    I'm sorry to hear you have had back pain to deal with, too. I hope you find some relief to that soon. I am enjoying seeing your SAHRR grow; it's bright and fun!

    sometimes it seems like if it is not the neck then a hand or back or something - it gets tiring doesn't it but all you can do is rest the part hurting

    I love how it is coming together, especially the windmill blocks. How do you like paper piecing? I like the resulting blocks if not the actual stitching on paper.

    I've been having some carpal tunnel problems lately and a break did help. I hope your shoulder pain is better soon. It's hard to enjoy sewing when there is pain involved.

    I am really enjoying watching your SAHRR come together. The color of fabrics that you are using are so fresh.They remind me of spring. Happy quilting, Kate.
