Frustration Fixer

I thought I was almost finished with this top

but my fav quilt teacher reminded me that, no matter what the pattern says,

I really do need to stitch around each of these damn deer rather than relying on fusible interfacing and long-arm quilting to hold them in place. 

 

It’s slooooow going. 

So tonight while Lily toasted herself near the space heater - turning every now and then so all her parts were evenly crispy - 

I made this Chinese Lantern quilt block, from my overflowing scrap bin, for Thursday’s guild meeting. Fast. Easy. Done. 

Tomorrow, I’m back to the deer.
