re-visiting a ufo
      
Quite a while ago I shared the foundation instructions for this quilt I bought back in 2000.
I seem to still have quite a few ufos from that year.  I got distracted with other quilts and this was once again put aside.  Yesterday I stay stitched and trimmed the yellow piece.  Then I decided it was too messy and cluttered in here and I was off and running on spending the rest of my day and evening doing my idea of purging/cleaning/clearing etc.  I started in the garage.  Yes, I knew there was room to be had if I tidied up some of those shelves out there.  And, some of this stuff possibly needed to be boxed up and sent out there-should I come up with space.  Well, some of the tubs out there contained fabric-uh, oh.  Anyway- needless to say I am still in the midst of this purging/cleaning out etc. project but this morning- I sat down and stay stitched the red and orange arc which I had pieced before stopping on this block and then stay stitched  the blue piece.  I am following the directions here- seems a lot of extra stitching but I am sure it is to help not have those curves get out of whack. 
I can see myself poking away on this project in between finishing the great clean up I have going on.  I am almost finished out in the garage-a full load in my vehicle  for charity to drop off, and plenty of outright trash in the garbage can.  I have been working with Starbucks customer service trying to get our expresso machine to work..this morning I was given additional advice to try.  I ran the machine per their instructions and still nothing.  I will just call them in a bit.  I have a request from my sweetie to follow up on next.  Oh, rain and a bit of thunder ...good thing I am done loading my car.  Guess that means gardening later is also out.  I am so glad that tomorrow is another day off for me.  I have unearthed some donated tops and with all the extra scrap batting I stacked up-that would be something else to do and have less stuff around.
I will post this block once it is stitched together and then hold off until all the remaining blocks are done.
