As Time Goes By

On New Year’s Day, 277 days ago, I decided I would piece a daily quilt block, post a photo of it in my blog, and write 150 words about whatever is on my mind at the moment. I’ve been skipping Sundays, which are full enough as it is. So as of today I have constructed 239 blocks, and written 35,850 words. Nine months and five days ago, I was thinking that anything I worked at every day for a year was sure to see some improvement. I decided two things I wanted to improve were my patchwork piecing and my writing skills.  I can see definite improvement in my piecing. If I’m unhappy with a block I’ve made, it’s more likely to be a matter of poorly chosen colors than poorly placed points. My writing is a bit more difficult to judge. But to be honest, I have spent much more time and effort on the blocks.
