20 minutes a day = 140 minutes a week

Spending 20 minutes a day on my old unfinished quilt project doesn't sound like much, but I started with 7 blocks and now have 15 up on my design wall, so I definitely am making progress, especially since I more than doubled the number of blocks that I have made for that quilt and have made more than twice as many as I am going to need to complete it.

I think the 20 minute a day approach is perfect for someone like me who often has a hard time getting going on projects since no matter how busy or lazy I might be, even I can manage to make myself work on something for that small amount of time each day and, as I said in my title, even 20 minutes a day adds up to 140 minutes a week, so it's not really surprising that I have managed to finish 8 more blocks for my quilt with this approach!

More UFO progress

Since I am only trying to spend 20 minutes a day on my old Civil War repro BOM project, I don't have enough to report to post very often, but I now have 10 blocks on my design wall, rather than the 7 I started with so I am making progress, even if very slow progress.

I was trying to do some of the piecing by hand, something else that slowed me down, but I  sewed some of the diagonal seams on my 9th block with my Pfaff so that block went together much more quickly, perhaps a bit TOO quickly...

I used to be very precise with my piecing, but  now feel that close is good enough, however that attitude unfortunately also seems to mean that I'm a bit too careless about sewing my blocks together since I sewed ANOTHER row wrong and I wasn't even moving from one sewing space to another.

I pieced the 10th block entirely by machine and didn't make any mistakes this time so perhaps I'm getting back into the swing of things, sure hope so since I have a lot more blocks to make in order to turn this into a twin sized quilt.

The 11th block is all cut out and ready to be sewn together, though, so the progress continues...
