We are half way!!!!

We did it.  Over the summer that we had hoped we would finish the qulit top in, we at least got half way.  Life got in the way a little but we made it half way.

Block #33 - Farmer's Puzzle

Well I worked my butt off trying to get all my points to line up.  They did.  But than my strip was so far off.  Oh well.  Me and Jack (my seam ripper) have been friends the last few days.  Here it is after three attempts to fix it.  I think I did.

Block #75 - Rosebud

I really liked the colors on this block.  Pink is not bothering me as much as it used too.
After the two messed up blocks yesterday, I'm very happy with how simple and easy this block was to put together.

Block #102 - Whrilpool

I did this block today.  Mom squared it up for me and did it wrong.  So it came out way too small.  Mom had me add a border around it to make it the right size.  I still like it.
~~ Chris~~

This is the block when I was done.  Just a few inches too small.

Block #82 Sipder Legs

Ok so I sewed today and I did this block.  Yes I know there are four pieces that are the wrong color.  Didn't know that till it was done and I was not going to re do it.

Our 44th block done of the 111 needed.

Block #100 - Weathervane

Chris did this one.  Picked the colors and sewed all but one row of it.  The machine he was using was acting up so I did the last seam.

Block #98 Waterwheel

Really don't like this one.  Not a drop.  Not sure if it's my fabric choice or the fact it's all pink.  But it's done and I'm done with it.

Block #97 - Waste Not

Yeah I sewed today.  My goal was to get ten blocks done this week.  And this is my first one towards that goal.
