Current project - A great big spiderweb quilt.
Specifications - Needs to be BIG, big enough to actually hang over the sides of my bed.
Dimensions - Finished will be (hopefully) 88 x 88" (I think!).............a bit of a monster for me!!!
Blocks needed _ 64!!
Triangles needed - 256
Blocks made - 10 (***sigh)
Tutorial - From 'Quilt it'
Inspired by - Blocks I made using Holly's idea for her Tenmaketwo month.
Rate of triangles made per hour - 5 and a half.
Estimated time needed to finish blocks - Around 40 hours!! Better get a move on!
The good news is since last week the Pfffffaff has been behaving.................Hurrrrrayyyy!
Being made accompanied by lots of Clipper organic tea and listening to BBC radio 4.
Another pic????
It would be rude not to!
Let's see if I can make another 40 triangles before tea time (eeek!). There will be Lemonade if I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the colors and monsters should be under the bed, not on top of them! LOL

You're quick - I would have guessed 1 or 2 an hour!

These are freakin' adorable! My mantra this week is "enjoy the process". I, too, have been getting a bit caught up in trying to hurry through things but I am trying to remember that I am sewing for fun - not to add more stress!!!
That being said......DQS8 deadline is looming...
