The rest of the story....

 
..or at least an explaination. You probably wondered why it would take so many hours to have 11 blocks finished, when there were 7 finished ones in the container, right? Well, that's the rest of the story, you see.
First I have to remind you, I'm slow(in movements). Secondly, I only have sight in one eye, the other eye functions as backup but only sees a shadowy Big E. If I shut that eye, the good one loses focus faster, so I try to keep both eyes open. That helps,but I need to blink and re-focus fairly often. And third, two of the finished blocks had the big triangles sewn in reverse positions...LOL..darn those bias edges! Jack the ripper time on those!!
In overcoming my hang-ups, about this block, I worked slower, pinned more, and lay the block pieces out on the table next to my machine. I then picked them up in order, sewed them, pressed and laid them back in place!
That's why it took much of the day to get to 11 finished and 9 more prepped! It's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
I have 4 more blocks in progress this morning, and hope to finish all 9 by the end of the day. I wanted to ask those of you who have done the UFO Challenge in years past, if you'd take a minute and pop over to one of the new or newer challengees and say "hi", some are fairly new to blogging and it's nice to have a visit from someone *VBS*
