I seem to remember a few days ago making a block like today's, although bigger, and then saying that I had found a miniature quilt made from this block and that I wanted to start it. Thank goodness I didn't because I made it through today's and I've had enough. I'm wondering if the miniature tumbler blocks did me in yesterday or if it was the 1-7/8" half-square triangles today. I've put that magazine away and I'm moving on to tomorrow.
This is block number 200 of 366 and it is an 8-inch block. There are more blocks finished then there are to do, and 200 was a major goal for me.
This is another bit of fun I had today. I've never blocked anything this long before AND I realized I had some trouble while casting off, as in it was a bit tight. I am thinking that blocking it will help with that tight edge, but it took a long time to get it straight, like I'm talking hours. It isn't quite dry yet, and then as I was watching yet another video on blocking I realized I'm going to have to do this again the next time I wash it. It may be a long time before the next washing. I'm just sure it will all be worth it. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

What a cool goal, congrats on being past the halfway mark! I love the block. I think blue is one of my favorite colors! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday!
Yes! To 200 :D That's a LOT of those blocks to make. It'll surely be one fantastic quilt when it's finished, though.
