I've been really sick. For several days. It is getting old. I started doing a little better yesterday so I started putting together Log Cabin Heart. Yikes! It seems really complicated I don't remember having this much trouble with the first one, but that was so long ago I probably wouldn't anyway.

I had to redraw this diagram with the curves it was too confusing this way.

Then I had miscounted how many of these blocks I needed to make. I actually need 42 of them so I am working on those now and I should be able to finish them tomorrow and get back to assembling the top. I intend to rework my notes, there are other errors that I discovered while I was working.

The blocks that are made are all one colored needed sliver trimming. On the next quilt I might make the narrow/wide strips just for consistency's sake, the same with the long solid blocks. I actually needed to add some extra strips around on some of the blocks. I made copious notes and I will make some correct drawings when I get some graph paper.

Then I started putting the top together, wrong as it happened, that's when I redrew the diagram and that helped. All in all I feel pretty tired, it's also taking longer to put the top together then it usually does. I hope to finish it tomorrow morning.

The plan after that is to start on the bins in the dining room and finish all the UFOs in those. Most of them will be empty after that and I will have a little more storage, which will help some of the clutter in my sewing corner upstairs, it's getting pretty bad with all the stuff I've been working on there. My reference books are stuck in a corner and it would be nice to have them handy.

Our John was down over the weekend. We hadn't seen him for close to 2 years and we have been missing him a lot. He brought his girl friend with him, it was the first time we had met her and she seems very nice. They have been together for several years, but John is a lot like his father; slow. Sweet though.

I'm still not feeling very good, I'm going to take a nap before I start my hand sewing. I might not get a lot done, but I hope I will feel better.
