Kansas Troubles--16" and Lincoln's Platform--10 1/2"

Kansas Troubles reminds me of saw blades...it was easier than I thought it would be....I guess it depends where my head is whether or not I can get the points all going the right way.  I really like Lincoln's Platform.  I was so pleased when I got the middle done and then I saw the outside blocks and went oops, but it still came together well.  Today's block ( Feb 10) needs a template so I'm skipping it.  Hopefully I can keep up :)

Lots has happened since I last blogged...Wed was CQN meeting and I got all my blocks trimmed, my backing blocks cut, and my batting cut so I can get the quilting done on the secondary quilt I've been working on.  It was a long day, but successful...and at the meeting we learned how to use paint sticks to design our own fabric.  It was cool.

Thursday, I went to the Temple with Judy and as always, that was a great experience.  Then in the evening, I babysat for Linda's grandchild again.  Today Sarah had another procedure done and I watched the boys.  She goes into the doctor's to discuss further next Thursday.  Today was Gwen's birthday and she is now a whopping 14 years old....where has the time gone?!?  We had a nice conversation and she is having an overnighter party with some friends tonight so she is excited.
Talked to Jordan today as well...he got his phone back, same number as before...and he is liking his new job and got his first paycheck.  Jeremy got a new job as a cabdriver....yeah, a cabdriver!!  I told him he drives like one....LOL!  Anyway he is happy.  Busy weekend ahead....hope everyone stays well and safe....
