The center of this piece was given to me almost done. I just sewed up a few of the central seams and then added the strip on the left to make the borders the same size. But it needed to be bigger so I added the blue border and started making little scrappy units to mimic the blocks in the middle.
Where does my mind go ?! Well, happily I realized that I only needed the 4 patches to be 6" wide so the length of the units could be shorter and I could salvage these wonky blocks with a little trimming!
We were at the cabin last week, just got home Friday. We had many beautiful sunny days there and came home to overcast drizzle. But I should not complain, we've got a lot of yard work to do having been gone 2.5 weeks. So overcast is good. Gotta go dig up the bearded irises. It's that time of year!
But some how I got some of my pieces to these four patches turned around...

Red crumbs anyone?!

Have a great week!

Seeing all your orphan projects has inspired me to dig into my box and play!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of yard work and I haven't even gone anywhere! I just divided lots of daylilies and hostas and oh my aching back!
