Quilt Along Blocks Week 5

I finished my quilt along blocks for this week. I liked making both of these and didn't have any major issues. The only mistake I made was on the hourglass block. If you notice, my two hourglasses are not going in the same direction. After I realized that Amy's were both the same I thought about fixing it, but I don't think it makes a difference.
You can still join the quilt along here.
Of course, I had to be accident prone today. I burned myself pretty good with the iron. Ouchness level was about an 8. Maybe a 9. It hurt! Normally when I burn myself I just go on about my business but this time it wouldn't quit burning. I had to get me a make-shift ice pack. Ziploc baggie, ice cubes, and gauze and tape to hold it on while I finished my sewing. I thought about just finishing them tomorrow but I wanted to get them done. So, for the record sweat and tears are in this project and I'm just waiting for a little blood.
Hourglass & Chain blocks:

All my blocks:

This is the second week I have missed posting a Money Monday. The reason is because we just haven't done much grocery shopping. I hope to get back to it next week. Our cupboards are getting a little bare! Have a great day!

  4. Thanks ya'll. My hand finally stopped burning and is developing a nice blister. I wish I did have some aloe, Tonya. Maybe once the quilt along is finished you will feel like completing it.
