It’s officially day two of this quilt along, though I’ve been working a bit ahead for a few days (like, 28?) to try and get some cutting done. While I don’t mind cutting anymore, it’s not my favorite thing so getting some completed beforehand makes things feel more doable.
I have a few days of blocks completed, in case Life Happens. Otherwise, my goal is going to be seven blocks a week.
I can confidently say after cutting about twenty-five of these blocks. that fussy cutting is definitely not my cup of tea. It’s… okay? I can do it. But It Feels Like A Lot.
Additionally, making a bunch of different blocks for a quilt is probably also not my cup of tea. XD At least maybe not this many in this kind of time frame? Maybe it’s the time of year, and when I sit down to work on this I just keep dreaming of being in my garden–should I haul my stuff outside and cut there?
My background noise for this project is Star Wars. I thought I’d watch just the movies, and after blowing through the original three (IV, V, VI) I decided watching everything, from the very beginning of the story, was probably a more appropriate goal. Thus far, I’ve watched Episode I and Episode II (I hate Anakin), the animated Clone Wars movie (I strongly dislike Anakin), and am now slogging through the Clone Wars series (Still strongly dislike Anakin). I say slogging because ug. Was it made for kids? I don’t know, and neither does the show. We get lessons on life and friendship, and then someone gets murdered without any follow-up, explanation, or consequences, so. (I’m surprised by how much I also dislike Obi Wan? Because while Anakin is showing signs of being evil, he still gets shit done. Yes, he just stabbed someone, but do you really need to scold him Obi? He just saved your life.)
I’m told season 3 is where it picks up. That’s only 50ish episodes in, which is comparable to the investment required for Gintama, so I’m sticking it out. (Regardless, I’m sticking it out, because I feel like I have to.)
