I need to get moving today.

Sometime today, I'll need to run to the post office.  The latest craft kit that my BFF sent me is too tedious to stand, so I'm mailing it to her.  ;)

I also have to go to the grocery store for road snacks.

We're taking a short trip this weekend, so I need to gather the necessities.  "Necessities" for most of my trips involve paint and/or fabric.  I'll be leaving the paint home this time, but there'll be a bag of quilt blocks in the car, busy-work for the drive.  

Yesterday, I ran into an unexpected complication with the quilt.  The initial 6 blocks came from a flea market and seemed pretty old.  I ordered more blocks so I could make a larger quilt.  They are slightly - maybe 1/4" - bigger than the original 6.  This is a problem.  The seams are not going to match without a whole lot of fudging.  I may have to take apart the blocks I've already sewn together, re-square all 20 blocks, and start the joining process all over again.  Why did I not square the blocks before I started sewing them together?  I used the cutting and sewing lines printed on the fabric, assuming they were consistent.  Lesson learned.

Fun times, indeed.

Our weekend trip will be to a giant flea market.  The Sister- and Brother-in-Law are going, too.  I've been assuming that we would all ride together in our truck, but last night The Husband said we're taking separate vehicles.  It might be because the BIL and I pick on each other.  ;)
