The star fish are making a comeback from the die-off and it cheers my heart to see them again. I took many pictures of things and will probably have a week of "what Nana and Papa saw on the beach" photos in our game.
Yesterday's pictures:
Today's pictures:
Pictures sent back from the kids, both were hard! I had to ask for hints!
My 'block program' is going well. All the scraps, okay, most of the scraps are out in the open. - You saw my 'system' yesterday. So it only takes about 15 minutes to put a block together!! A word to the wise: sew the corners on the 4 1/2" squares first. Change to 1/4 inch foot, sew the plus pieces together. Stop chain sewing and lay out the block! Especially when you have directional fabrics in the block. Then proceed!! You'll save yourself a lot of ripping, trust me!!
Dang! And don't think it was an easy fix! Two directional fabrics ... ripped it down to 7 pieces!
But put it back together, not happy with Elvis blending in with the Dr Whos ... but move on!!
Today's block, I used the long piece of the plus as the horizontal so the words would read across it. I have to remember to look at it sideways, so I don't get both 'dark' squares on top!! I'm sure it won't be the last time! And of course, with this busy of a quilt - no one but me is going to notice.
Stay Safe and QUILT ON!
