I've been plugging along with the blocks for the 365 challenge and have been able to keep up for the most part. I'm not sure why I can't get a decent picture - the colors don't come across correctly on the iPhone - but here is most of my progress since I last posted them. There are a couple more that I finished after this was taken.
Here's my dilemma, though - I spend almost all of my machine time trying to keep up with these. Thankfully they are assigned in a level of difficulty progression by technique so there are usually a couple of quick ones in the mix each week, but they still require a lot of time. My interest is starting to wane. But given that I have 72 blocks completed I feel a little trapped! I could put them all into a small quilt but where's the fun in that?? I was just about ready to cry uncle last week and stop trying but then spread these all out on the floor and felt like I had to keep going. Given I feel this way now I'm not sure I'm going to last 9 more months!
I stopped working on 365 blocks long enough to prep a bunch more orange peels. As of last night I am caught up for this month so far - 16 peels completed by the 16th!
I should know better than to have committed to two blocks per day between these two projects. What was I thinking?!?

I know what you mean about starting quilt-a-longs and petering out. I started the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt-a-Long and was progressing nicely until we got The Puppy. Screech! Pretty much a complete halt. I'll get back on it again soon as she's getting older & better behaved! Hahaha!
Dana, can you send me your email address as it's not coming up on your blog or emails to me. I would love to send your Easter stitchery but cant 'find' you! Thanks heaps
