Assembly line!

Don't tell the quilting police but I rarely plan my quilts. Apart from a general idea, I usually start sewing, put the blocks on the design wall and play with the settings. 

My latest quilt is different. I have a design in a book and I am following it!

This is the test block and the first of 80 9 patches the quilt needs. 

I am even sewing width of fabric strip sets and then cross cutting! 

Feels productive even if a bit like working in a sweat shop.

As the temperature at the moment is 40C it may not entirely be the production line which is giving that feeling. 

I have collapsed onto the couch under the ceiling fan for some recovery time before getting frocked up for a concert tonight. At least the hall will be air conditioned .
