We traveled back to California last week and was busy preparing for a backyard wedding. The end result was a beautiful wedding between my sister and her wonderful man.
Not much really accomplished last week in the sewing arena, but I have put together what I DID get done just before we left.
My progress on the next project in this class:
I have cut my strips:
I sewed them together
I cut the strips to make 128 half four patches
I counted them. I was ONE short. There was no left over space on the ends to sqeeze one more out, and I thought to myself.. Do I really have to make 2 more strips to make ONE 2 patch?
I decided I better recount. WHEW, exactly 128! Never been more grateful for miscounting! Usually, we have half strips left over. I just didn't even consider I would be THIS close.
Now, I sew the 2 halves together and I have instant Four Patches!
The other blocks are just squares! That is next on the task list.
I suppose the main lesson is reinforcing habit, and learning the sashing with corner stones.
