About time I posted here again.
Especially for a Blue Monday.
I am participating in a Winter Block Exchange using
winter theme or feeling type fabrics.
The darkest one on the right I already had in my stash so
I decided to start with one to find other fabrics to go with it.
Finally I got to work on the blocks.
I am running out of time to get them done.
First it was the light blue and white squares.
Then the light and dark squares.
Then the medium and light squares.
More triangles to make into squares.
I did a lot of chain sewing which saves time and thread.
Ahhh... now the small triangles made into squares.
Moving along and making rows with three squares each.
At this point I realized my mistake.
I had figured my measurements for the squares based on a 4 row
block I was considering making and then I changed my mind
about which block design to use.
Totally not paying attention that this is a 3 row block.
Guess what, the blocks are coming out smaller than they are supposed to
be for the exchange.
Sigh.....
I just kept plugging away anyway hoping that I
will make it work in the long run.
Wandering Star is the name of this block.
I love how my choice of fabrics fits with the name.
Block is smaller than it should be. I plan to solve the issue by adding
a border or borders to make it the correct size of 9.5 inches square.
Making 12 of these for the exchange.
Happy Blue Monday!
