This is probably going to be the longest time I’ve ever taken to stitch a block. But while the Olympics are on, and particularly the figure skating, my stitching time slows right down. I liked Kathy’s comment yesterday about stitching during commercials. That’s probably exactly what I’ll be doing.
So what did I get done Monday? All the little pieces cut for the next Farmer’s Delight block. I actually got a start on stitching the centre part together, but not enough to photograph. However, these are all the pieces, ready to stitch:
If you click to embiggen the photo, you can see the stitching lines printed on the back of the cream triangles. Making sure the matching points actually match up is a great way to make sure the triangles are positioned properly.
Smudge had to have a rest from another day of Olympics viewing:
While it was Lester’s turn to guard their favourite toy:
Yep quilting during the Olympics is impossible. It's the only time that my hands are not busy while watching TV.Crispy

I have enough trouble stitching while listening to something – I think you are going great guns with these blocks

I love the way these blocks are turing out. I planned badly and do even have anything ready for handwork.

These blocks are stunning, Cathi. When you look at them in the future, you'll always be reminded of the 2010 Olympics.
