I'm doing 17 things
I have four full rows attached now, and I’ve quilted the blocks for three more rows (plus a couple). I picked up the fabric I needed and some more batting. It’s just a matter of sticking to it! It’s starting to feel like a quilt now that it’s getting bigger. I can’t wait to cozy up under it!

How I did it: After procrastinating and worrying about costs for weeks I finally just went to a camera shop and asked the lady behind the counter for some help. Turns out it was just a tiny, minor problem, there was dust in my SD slot! a quick shot of compressed air cleaned it out and she handed my working camera back to me, no cost!
