As I said the other day in the latest donation blocks post<\/a>, laying out FOTY 2015 doesn’t make for a lot of tangible production. While I enjoyed making the donation blocks, I did need a little variety and the Stepping Stones parts were handy.<\/p>\n

\"Four<\/a>

I enjoy these blocks and seeing the way they will be laid out makes me very happy. Turning each on a little bit makes a huge difference.<\/p>\n

Even though I may need the squares for the layout of the Carpenter’s Wheel blocks, I have used some of the low volume prints for the white space in these blocks. I have plenty of fabric for the [mythical] Carpenter’s Wheel layout and can always cut more.<\/p>\n

Making a few blocks always leads to making more and the six shown give an idea of what the quilt will look like and makes me want to make more.<\/p>\n

Based on the layout I devised for my nephew’s Stepping Stones quilt<\/a>, it looks like I will only need two more blocks and then border blocks for the width. I thought I measured 8 blocks across my bed, which doesn’t account for border blocks. I want to make the border blocks to finish the design.\u00a0 There are two blocks around the whole edge of the previous SS quilt and I could eliminate those if I thought the width was too big. Measuring next, I think.<\/p>\n

I am really pleased with how the blocks look. Now to get FOTY 2015 off the wall so I can layout all the blocks I have and see what I am facing. After months of feeling meh about quiltmaking, I am finally excited about several projects! Yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
