15 minute challenge - April 26

I had a pretty good week, in spite of having to re-do the backing and basting for the Purple Pinwheel quilt. I'm glad I did though.  I don't know what I was thinking.  So here's my week.

Tuesday -- basted Purple Pinwheel quilt ..
Wednesday -- unbasted Purple Pinwheel; put on new backing; re-basted Purple Pinwheel
Thursday -- quilted Purple Pinwheel
Friday -- quilted Purple Pinwheel
Saturday -- quilted Purple Pinwheel
Sunday -- watched Pride & Prejudice
Monday -- finished quilting .. attached binding to front of Purple Pinwheel, started hand sewing binding.

I'll probably finish the hand sewing tonight.  Now the real challenge begins.  working 15 minutes a day on the Prom Quilt.

To see what everyone else has been up to this week, check out Life in Pieces ...

Oh I cannot wait to see the finished quilt...you did really good. Congratulations!

Can't wait to see the quilt. Wednesday sounds like my week last week!
I used to hate undoing something I had worked on, but if i left it as is, it would end up in a cupboard forever. Now I undo it and start again, and I'm always pleased that I did.

Way to go on the re-baste. It's hard to do but the results are usually worth it. Cant wait to see how it's turned out.

Looks like you had a great week craft wise! Way to go Thea!

Congratulations on the almost finish! Great job on 6 out of 7 days.

Which Pride and Prejudice? The A&E version?

I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to have to re-do the backing! I can't wait to see the pictures of your finished piece! Happy Tuesday!

Oh I'm so sorry. Undoing backing and basting wouldn't be fun at all. I like Pride & Prejudice too.
