The block sizes are either 3" or 4" and it will be a row quilt. Sometimes its the small things that make us happy.
So why do I have a guilty conscience?
The answer is this note. I wrote the names of all the quilt tops I have that need quilted and taped it to my desk at work. It's my daily reminder to get on the ball, my motivation to make the list go away. So last month I pulled out the Jelly Roll Race Quilt, its backing fabric, batting, an issue of Quilty Magazine, went to the fabric store...and promptly pieced thirteen of these blocks...
Wait! That is not how that was suppose to go. Too many distractions! Now my pretty little strawberry blocks are just waiting to be joined together with sashing and setting triangles to become a finished quilt top. What's the problem? It then becomes another name on my list. By opening that magazine I allowed myself to cheat on my list of UFO's. So will I finish piecing together the strawberries or pull out the brand new spool of thread and quilt a quilt top? I'm thinking the best thing to do is take a deep breath, go home, open a new bottle of wine and figure it out then :)
