Done

Last night after the kids were all safely tucked in bed I sat down with my sewing machine.

I was determined to sew the last of the squares into strips.

I would not be defeated.

I am a warrior.  I am prepared for battle.  I will conquer my white whale of a quilt.

I loaded up on caffiene and turned up some motivating music as loud as I dared (which in all honesty wasn't very loud, because I had just tucked all the children safely in their beds.)  I was ready to go all night.

I was going to DO.THIS!

I sewed four strips.

And then...

I ran out of thread.

I quit.
