Friday Night Sew In

I had very high hopes for myself for this FNSI. I worked and worked and worked. And I have darn little to show for it. My original plan was to cut and sew the bindings onto a HUGE quilt I just made. What I forgot was that I went to a retreat this weekend and I had not yet unpacked (lazy girl!).  I had a very clean sewing table but a very messy ironing table and no sewing machine or tools in sight.  WAH!

Here is what I did get done:

Binding cut:


A gazillion bonus triangles paired up and sorted:



And several alternate blocks made for my niece's quilt:


Those dark red/rose squares are bugging me.  I may need to pick them out and put in some calmer ones.  I'll make a few more with a broader range of reds and see how I like them.

    Even if you didn't get finished what you'd planned on doing, you still got a lot done and I'd say that's a successful FNSI.
