Almopst the same

I added up the time I spent on the quilt last week. There were 2 days I didn't do anything. When I was done adding it up there was only about 15 minutes difference between the weeks. 8 hours and 24 minutes and 8 hours and 15 minutes.. I have gone 1/2 the width of the quilt and am headed back to the middle.

Folded paper

As a girl I saw my mom fold a piece of paper and make a meal plan on it. She would plan the main dish for a month at a time. I have also used the folded page for the same thing. If you fold it in half the hamburger way 3 times and thirds the hot dog way, you have squares for 4 weeks and an extra column at the end for the next grocery list.

I want to track the time it takes to do this quilt. I have made one for that purpose. I sat it on the chair that is by the door to my sewing room.

The quilt in it's place

Scott sent pictures this morning of the quilt in the girl's room. WOW! I must say it looks GOOD!!!
This is how the size is on the bottom bunk. It is touching the wall but not hanging down the back. Maybe a ruffle or lace around the edge would work. What do you think?
I'm am so happy with the way this turn out. It has been a long time in coming!
