Crazy attempt on Patchwork?




As last Saturday is the alternate week not a working Sat., so on Friday night, my patchwork craze was on me....cut the pieces until 2am still could not finished. All in approx. 495 blocks, and strips for 1 inch square block.
continued on Saturday morning to complete the cutting session,.so tempting to start sewing but not yet, went for my facial, and next day...the second photo tells the story.

the whole quilt size: 90" x 108"
the total focal block is 99 blocks, the most complicating part for me is the 1" square block (red & blue), but it is fun.

Quiz: What Time of Day are You?

You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.


i think this reflects a true ME?
