A year of Finishing: After Yesterday? Give me a break!

After Yesterday? Give me a break!

Yesterday I finished a whole 20 year old quilt, my oldest UFO, and today you're just going to have to give me a break. I managed to finish two very complicated blocks today. I'm nearly finished with another and I did some prep work but I'm going to call it a night. I had some dishes and laundry to do today as well. I know, that's not really an excuse but I can't spend all day every day on my hobbies!

Oh BTW, I made a mistake on one of these blocks. If anyone can spot it I will send the first one who notices it a prize~!

More tomorrow!
