All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

By Sam Cooke

Well, I've been working on the chain gang today, chain sewing some of those 800 quilt pieces. This picture shows 86 pieces, the most I'm able to chain sew before having to connect to other pieces and actually think about what I'm doing. This surely saves a lot of time. I now have 3 of the 6 wall hangings pieced together and I'm feeling like I might be able to finish them in time for my Christmas exchanges. Yippee!
