\"Carpenter's<\/a>
Carpenter’s Wheel – Section 1 & 2 sewn together<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had such a nice weekend. I was able to, essentially, spend two days sewing after really missing it during all of my #politicalwifery over the past few weeks. As I mentioned<\/a>, I had to cut a lot. I just didn’t have enough variety of text squares to make much progress on the Carpenter’s Wheel<\/a>. I see to sew this piece in fits and starts.<\/p>\n

After sewing the cut squares together into 4 patches, I began to assemble the blocks. It takes 64-2.5′ squares to make a block. As you have seen in other posts, I do put a larger square in to the blocks to add interest, so I don’t always have to sew 64 squares together. Still 60 squares or 56 squares, because I usually don’t sew more than 2 large squares into one block, is a lot.<\/p>\n

Carpenter’s Wheel -almost last row, section 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Carpenter’s Wheel -almost last row, section 3 – in process<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The section above will fit on to the bottom of the two sections I already sewed together, shown above.<\/p>\n

I was able to finish one whole section and make a good start on the last section, shown right. I really enjoy making progress on this quilt. I only have about 10 seams to have these four blocks sewn together. I do need to make two more text blocks (like the lower right) in order to finish the section.<\/p>\n

Definitely progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
