I am juggling a lot right now and every time I go near my sewing machine, I just don’t feel like turning it on. Some of this has to do with finishing the Handbag Sampler and getting it ready to be quilted. That was a momentous (for quiltmaking) occasion. Part of me feels like everything is done, even though my to do list is still filled.
I know it doesn’t look like that to you as I keep posting.
I am wandering around near my projects and have plenty on which to work; I just don’t seem to do it. Nothing is super pressing, I guess.
Finally, I got out the directions for Bonnie Hunter’s leaders and enders challenge, Four Patch Fun, which I mentioned recently. I made some size adjustments so I could use up the leftover strips from the Half Hexie Star project and just started sewing these small blocks together.
They are very fast to sew and look great together. I don’t know how the different sizes will look together, but we will find out at some point.
From each Half Hexie Star I get enough pieces for half of the pieces I need for two blocks. As you can see above, the blue Tula True Colors print and the pink/purple Tula True Colors print both show up twice. I am trying to make them different by shuffling the backgrounds. I want each block to look different, if I can easily manage it.
There is something very satisfying about seeing these stack up.
