Also, during TFQ’s visit, I worked on the Moda squares I got from Hancock’s. I decided on the final arrangement and started sewing them together. More than 20 days later, they are still in the same state. I will get back to it in another month or so.
I decided to get more of the squares, after St.JCN suggested it, and make the piece a little bigger. I was thinking about how I would arrange the new batch of squares. My idea now is to arrange them the same way, but turn the whole arrangement upside down and then sew it to the original group. Since I have not made this decision visually yet, we will have to see once the squares arrive.
st. jcn is most definitely saintly! look at all the prettily folded and ironed fabric! ooooh!
and the squares look quite good. it’s surprising how cool they look – such a straightforward thing to do, but they pack a nice punch.
Kristen,
Thanks for reading. St.JCN is definitely a saint. I really couldn’t have a better friend, could I?
I am really having fun with the squares. It seems so simple: arrange squares, but the more subtle the colors, the more difficult the task. I am constantly arranging and rearranging to get the perfect look. It is a good exercise and keeps me in the quilting loop during the chaos.
