I'm getting off the 8" block conversation a minute. I have to mention that I am going to take a class in Feb. in two parts on making a quilted sweatshirt. I'm really looking forward to it. It's one way to use up sweatshirts that might be stained on the front or tired of the pattern that might be on there. I'll post photos once I get going on it. The first class is on the 4th and the other two weeks later. I also put the hand peiced quilt I'm making on my bed today to see how much more I need to go. I was surprised to find I only have three or four more rows to go. Then it will be sashing and binding. It's a six pointed star made with 1 1/2 inch diamonds sourrounding a 5 inch octagon so it's done in rows. I started last April and I do a little every night while watching TV. I posted a picture a long time ago. It will have to be hand quilted so it will be another year I guess to completion. Sigh! I do machine quilting also so I don't get burned out. Hope everyone is having a good day. It's 75 today here in the desert. My chickens and birds are lovong it. Me too!
