Thank you received: 51

Thanks for the encouragement, Gail! It's early morning after a long night of NCAA basketball

I finished my month 3 arcs except for ironing and trimming. I think I'm going to do some blocking as well. About 95% of my points are sharp, the rest, well, maybe I won't worry about dull knives.

I did study the picture of the completed quilt for a while. Yikes. I wish I had left the paper on month one sashing strips. That's a LOT of pinning to get those points sharp.

This will feel like a glorious accomplishment when it's finished.

I'm finding these arcs to be rather tedious. I didn't mind the paper-piecing part at all, once I learned how to do it. Thank goodness for the Seam Destroyer.
