awoke to gray but dry skies that didn't stay dry long...as expected, heavy snow and wind arrived making this a snow day according to my new england criteria....i know the drill well! this (so far) is the most snow i've seen in maryland since moving here in 2016....with more coming overnight. despite several UFOs waiting in the wings, instead sewed up another small civil war repro quilt.
saw the design in an old fons & porter book....the original was made with 1.5" squares but since i have plenty of repro stash, upped the size to 2" to use some precut scraps....took an hour and all 10 digits to figure out correct math measurements, but by end of day had this little flimsy. so instead of busting UFOs, added another to the pile....it is a sickness i have....LOL! did, however, bust most of that neutral used for sashing...the remainder went into the scrap basket. so you see, i don't so much use up stash, rather move it around...LOL!
I got a good laugh from "took an hour and all 10 digits." Oh, I can relate to that!!
ReplyDeleteLove this little thing, Grace!
too true to be funny...LOL
DeleteThe light sashes add a nice pop to your new creation!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to sew something else. Hopefully it won't wait too long to be a lovely finish.
