Focus

When does focus become tunnel vision?  Or maybe even obsession?

I was thinking about that as I struggled with putting my rows together for my jewel box quilt.  I had decided in December that I wanted to at least finish jewel box top.  I have sewn, unsewn when I do not like the seam match ups, swapped blocks, and now that the rows are together swapped out rows trying to get it "just right".

I wanted to go outside in the sunny weather, I thought a picture of it on the snow would be fabulous.
According to the weather on my phone it is 3 with a -15 wind chill.   Um sorry but no fantabulous quilt pictures outside.

 I suited up and headed to the mailbox.  I did take a couple of snaps though.

See this drift?  DH and I calculated it is about 3 1/2 feet tall.  It goes to the front steps.  Luckily we do not use the front steps!

I do sew love the patterns that the wind makes in the snow as it is blowing.  

I am sew thrilled this top is finished.  It is 96 1/2 " square when it is finished it will be 96 inches square.  This will be a simple quilt and it is only going to get a binding which will be black.  I hope to quilt it on my machine once DH finishes my frame he is creating.  The black is Kona.  I love the black, and the weight but I have been having some problems with it raveling.  I also am going to just order a black backing from backside fabrics.  I love wide backing fabrics, because I don't have to piece it together or spend almost $100 to get enough fabric to make a back, but on a side note I would love to finish it in pearl bracelets but that is a bit too steep for my wallet.

Not bad for working a lot of hours this month.  I finished a couple of my goals so far.  I wonder if I can get my Lazy Sunday Top done by Friday?
