In all truth, I did actually work for two hours after herding the kiddos to bed tonight. I had previously cut the fabric for some baby quilts and started to piece them. It's the old standby Log Cabin block. There are twenty blocks in the quilt and I have completed six now. I have four more that are almost done, so I'm almost a third of the way done. Once I get all the blocks done, I still have to sew them all together to make the top, then quilt and bind it, thus only being a third done instead of half.
Tonight, I learned that I don't like piecing the Log Cabin block. It's annoying to have to sew the little piece to the big piece, then press and cut (perhaps I will try cutting without the pressing). It's a shame that I cut the fabric for two of these before piecing one, because now I'm pretty much stuck making two of them, which I won't really enjoy very much. At least they will be completed and I will never have to make a Log Cabin block again.
