I got to ride!!!!
That is all.
Carry on with your doctor fighting, eagle watching, and quilt making that you aren't happy with but I'm not sure why.

Tiff, bottom right block has a screwed up seam allowance. Fix that, block the thing and it will be fine. They always look wonky until they have been pressed. Once your seams match, you're good to go.
Thanks FV. I'll get it back out when I don't think I will throw it across the room.
The pattern of the blocks seems off to me. Shouldn't they all be going in the same direction to make diagonal lines?
And I thought I had a walking foot. I don't. Will probably need that for the rag quilt. Found it on Amazon for about $35. That's an expensive foot!

The pattern is off. Take the four block sections apart and turn them around until they look right to you. Quilting is one of those don't sew a stitch until you have looked at it from all angles things. I lay blocks out on the dining table, then take two blocks, marking what seam I need to sew, double check, sew it, then put it back on the table and stare at it before I do any more. It will get easier with practice.

I just like to admire quilts. 
I don't have the patience for sewing little pieces of fabric together.

I'll rip it apart tomorrow and see what I can do. I thought I had everything lined up and the pattern good but nope, I did not.
And I just spent an hour and a half researching a walking foot. Snagged one with good reviews on Amazon for $25.
Mornin' everyone!
Melanie had a great game last night. Her team beat the powerhouse team from last year 12-2. Mel had two really good hits. They had her behind the plate in catcher's gear twice, but at this age, all the catcher really does is kneel behind the plate. Most of the time, they dont/cant catch the ball.
Did I mention I got to ride my bike yesterday? I'm glad I did, because its going to be the last time until no earlier than late next week. The weather is going to get chilly and rainy. I have enough issues driving around id10ts in the rain, I dont need to make it worse by putting myself on two wheels in it.
Well, I guess I better get motoring. I'm going to finish up some paperwork real quick, then I have to start taking my truck and the warehouse van to the city corporate office. No more free gas to get to work
As far as the quilting and sewing talk goes... All I can say is:

Good morning! Work is going to be a bear today. I hope they remember to give the hyper irishdoodle her benadryl. It helps a tiny bit and I could use all the help with her I can get. Besides being a pita to groom she is the sweetest dog.
Good morning everyone! I just saw two peeps in the PA eagle nest so both eggs hatched.

Great news. Then you'll be able to see again. But do you really want to?
Drott's dog shack on the move.

Mr. V is worried.
He said he hopes they put a patch on both of my eyes so I can't see what he really looks like.

Glad the blood work came back good.
Today was much worse than anticipated. The. Day. From. Hill. I won't bore you with the details but I want a do over for today. I'm just glad to finally be home.

I was watching the PA peeps getting fed and afterwards I noticed the fish was still flopping around. Ewww...
