Unemployment Enjoyment

**dad update**
I left Dad yesterday and we felt that there was some movement on the infection. Monday was day 6 and he was slated to continue this treatment through this week. What a PITA for him. Was so glad to be there for the daily trips to the hospital. Flash backs of my solo daily trips for radiation, so I was very lucky to be available for him at this time.

During my down time from the world of employment, I had to have a finish for myself, even if it's only a flimsy.

 Here is my Sisters Choice, all finished.............sort of.

 I took pictures, I laid it out, I assessed the placement of all 85 blocks..........

 So how did this happen? Smack in the middle of the quilt.  This was the center seam, on the diagonal, and I didn't catch this.  But I can live with it, right? Last week I swore to Muriel that I was NOT going to fix this. 

 Then I noticed the next block over had almost the exact same blue print, good grief, that was enough for me to get out the seam ripper.

 These "fixes" really don't take a lot of time, they are just picky and frustrating.  But I did it anyways.

The sun was shining in the window, not the best picture. But this top is now done. I've picked out a backing fabric and it's ready to hit the wash. The top is hanging up and is in line for quilting.

Info on this quilt:
100 x 100 finished
85 blocks and the center 9 patches were from an online swap
25 pieces in each block
18 different prints in each block

8 bonus triangles from the sashing on each block 1 3/4 sq. Total of 680 little blocks ready to go into another project.

This box of pre-made parts are packed and ready to go to my Gwen Marston 4 day retreat on Lopez Island. I'm leaving tomorrow.  It's my summer vacation, my last blast of time off for the next 5 months. I start my new job on Monday!
