\"Week<\/a>
Week of April 1 Blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These are the blocks for this week. Or so I thought. TFQ took the time to go through our list and found, though not her intention,\u00a0 that I wasn’t ahead as I had thought. She found that I actually finished blocks for the end of the last week not the beginning of this week. I have to say I felt disheartened. I wanted to work on another project, which was why I got busy with these so early in the weekend. So much for clearing the decks.<\/p>\n

We have a deadline of getting the 8″ blocks done by the\u00a0beginning of May and I want to stick to that schedule. Her efforts, fortunately, got us back on our real schedule, rather than the schedule in my head, which is good.<\/p>\n

Still I didn’t want to work on any Sawtooth Stars at the moment, even the new patterns. I just left these on the design wall and pretended I wasn’t behind again. This is an interesting exercise in working on one project almost exclusively. It is difficult for me to dedicate so much time to one project, I am finding. This makes me think more about my process. More on that later, I think.<\/p>\n

Above are: Chevron Star (actually from the week before as I made the wrong block previously) (upper left) Basic Star (upper right) Home Treasure (lower left) and Stars & Pinwheels (lower right). All of these can be found in one of the Around the Block books.<\/p>\n

I am using some of the 12″ blocks as inspiration for the fabric combinations.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I decided to do some cutting and cut out the new blocks. Life goes on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
