1287 squares

my weekly to-do list, which at school consists of 10 times tops and is taped to my closet, has been growing. each time i cross one thing off i find my self adding another 2 or 3. when i should be finding a second summer job or tackling the mound of paperwork for my anthropological independent study as well as planning the documentary that will accompany it or even just unpacking my room, i look for everything and anything else to do. one thing on my list, that i have been diligently working on is my quilt. inspired by l.l. bean, i bought the fabrics last summer but only seriously began it this past spring. 143 nine by nine squares, or 1,287 individual squares, eventually with a boarder and trim, but for now just a work in progress. as my mind continues to flood with thoughts of a lake side cabin, nestled in a pine grove on a mountain in vermont or alberta, ideally i'll have completed it in time to move into my ocean side cabin with a. only a few more weeks before we'll be laying on the rocks, cuddled on the sofa and collecting footage for the film. so much to do on this summer vacation, perhaps i should have gotten a head start?!
