find my mistake?

 I'm going to have to cut into the Amazing Labyrinth and fix a mistake.  Can you find it?


 

   

Stormy Skies progress

 I am surprised how fast these machine pieced blocks are going.  I'm even doing it the hard way and it's fast.  My plan was to do one every other day because it would take that long to feel like working on another but I'm managing 3 or 4 a day. 

I'm almost finished with the EPP blocks too. I have the bouquet and the big one left.  They go faster now too.  I don't know if it's because I don't want them to end or what.  I'll be back to hexies before I'm ready but I'm kinda ready too. I need to get back to hand quilting that one hexi blanket and see if I'm ready to put the next one on a frame soon.  Maybe soon I'll feel like spray basting a quilt outside. 

Another thing I need to do is pull out the spare machine and play with it.  I learned how to clean the tension pieces to Bobby Lee my grandma's vintage Singer so I think I'll do that soon and play with the Brother while I'm waiting on the pieces to soak and dry.  The weekend is coming and I can't wait.  It will start in 45 minutes.

Here's the Castle Wall I finished today.


You can see the water-soluble pen I used to make corners line up and they actually didn't. ugh.

I'm almost done with the Amazing Labyrinth

 I have one row of blocks left.  Then I need to block and crop them to be ready for assembly. 









I'm going to need to buy some more black to finish it with a frame that will have to wait until next weekend though. 

I'm so excited.  Meanwhile I picked up the blocks from Sara's Sampler in the Elm Creek Quilts book. and I sewed the 2nd row in upside down.  ugh.

New Blocks for Amazing Labyrinth as of May 18

 I'm running behind in posting the blocks for this quilt.

 I put squares in the wrong place twice in the last month. Looks like I'm getting a lot more than one block a week done now.
