Poor planning

Well, not only did I not bring enough sashing fabric for my triangle gatherings quilt, but I clearly underestimated how many blocks I'd need to complete the quilt so I'm waaaay short of blocks.

 This is how it's looking as far as I could get:

closer look:


It's very disappointing that I hadn't packed enough "supplies" since I have them all just sitting in a basket in California... GRRR.

 We went to a local baseball game the other night and had a blast.  The team is called the Bend Elks.  The "stadium" was empty... maybe because it's akin to pre-season??  It's the kind of place that if a particular batter strikes out, they offer beer half off for the next 10 minutes! VBG
 

 I'm now back to the hourglass quilt which I will hopefully finish this week!  I need two rows of purples all around and it should be finished...


It looks like blogger has fixed the glitch and I may be getting comments in my email again... WOOHOO

    Hmmm, maybe you just need to make a smaller quilt. I can't believe you need more blocks. It seems like you made a million! Love the hourglass. Bonnie will be proud of you!

      Thanks. I'll be happy when it's put together and I'll have used up maybe half the blocks!!

    Love baseball ... we have a minor league team, too. Traverse City Beach Bums and take in a few games each summer. Just a lot of fun.

    I tend to over pack quilting supplies if I am taking them away from home. How disappointing for you to not have enough. Maybe you weren't going to make the quilt as large as your current layout.

      When I'm going to a retreat, I do the same. But we had our grandkids for the weekend before we left so I honestly didn't have the time to carefully think out what I needed to bring. Not a big deal, though...
