…for a brief quilting announcement. I poked around at fabric for a good part of the day. I compared strips and squares on hand to the pile of brown fabric that I ironed. Most of what I’d ironed I had some stuff pre-cut. No problem with that. I really wanted to start laying that out but ha! that’s a little hard to do when the center portion has to be made first.<\/p>\n
That led me to the next crisis. I really had started down one road of pre-building fabric of a gazillion small strips to cut squares out of. Nasty work and not really the result I wanted. I had early on thought about doing the squares on a foundation but that seemed like a LOT of bulk for such small pieces. I suppose it’s possible to use a tear away material (there’d be a LOT of tearing…). We’ll see.<\/p>\n
So I sat down and had a little blank spot of not having a clue. Never a good thing.<\/p>\n
Tonight after dinner I picked up my box of bright green squares and the pile of little strips and I’m doing some test piecing. That’s all I can do I guess. Sometimes the image is clearer than others, and sometimes there’s a gap between what it looks like in your head and how you can make that happen. <\/p>\n
Well, not going to worry about it at the moment until the test pieces are done. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
