Pick One Up
Fold it in Half
Smash it down with an iron
Nine hundred ninety thousand nine hundred ninety nine little squares on the ironing board
and one triangle

Nine hundred ninety thousand nine hundred ninety nine little squares on the ironing board

Pick One Up
Fold it in Half
Smash it down
Nine hundred ninety thousand nine hundred ninety eight little squares on the ironing board
and two triangles


Maybe exaggerating the number isn't a good idea if you are going to do a countdown.

 A few more triangles.

 Two columns worth. Why aren't there fewer squares left?


Yippie! Four columns. Forty triangles! Wait, that is only 10 blocks worth.

 More triangles.

Oh look, More triangles!

 More triangles. What a surprise.

 And a few more

15 Minutes to Stitch

This week,  I've been hand sewing the binding on the Droid quilt. Also cut and pressed a few triangles. I started decluttering the sewing room.

15 Minute sessions of stitching this week:  7 out of 7
15 Minute sessions of stitching this year:  297 out of 350 sessions
Success Rate: 85%

Wow I never thought I would end the year at this high a rate. I thought 80% would be a stretch.

That's quite a pile you started with. It's amazing how a bit here and there can whittle even a big pile down. Congrats on the 85% success rate. When you think about just how busy our lives are, that's a great accomplishment. Congrats!
