My Second Queen Size Quilt

I started doing this project for the new year this week. Last night, I finished up the half of the queen size bed quilt topping. I am continuing the second half today. It is a lot of work but quite rewarding once you see how the blocks are coming together as one piece!

So far, I did well.

However, I have to remove one block on the side since the binding on this particular piece was narrower than the rest. Ayayay! But it should be fine. Really, I want to finish all the "piecing together" and the cutting of fabrics this week before we drive this Monday to RENO, NEVADA. I plan to work inside our hotel room while husband is out on his usal business meetings during the day. In the evening, we could go to the casino and have fun dancing and dining as well. So with this in mind as planned by MOI, it simply means, I am working double time today and tomorrow for this project plus- I will be taking my whole ensemble of quilting gadget (from sewing machine to quilting board, roller cutter, fabric, threads-and lots more)! But who cares? The space in our hotel room should be perfect for me to lay down my quilt to measure it and layer it. Well, I just wish I won't freak out the cleaning lady of PEPPERMILL! Haha! But I look forward to playing some PENNY SLOTS. It's my way of unwinding for the time we are there. I always win. Yipeeeeeee!
