\"Corner<\/a>
Corner Store Test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have written a lot about the Corner Store pattern<\/a> from Pretty Little Mini Quilts<\/a>. This block is very appealing especially since I have been thinking about my scrap pile lately. I bought a large piece of Kona Snow and finally cut into it for the Zig Zaggy quilt<\/a> and for this Corner Store project. I didn’t cut a multitude of pieces in advance (always a recipe for disaster for me), but I did cut some.<\/p>\n

You are probably wondering why in the world I am starting\u00a0 this quilt at the same time I started the Zig Zaggy quilt and am still working on the Blue Janus quilt. Insanity? Perhaps.<\/p>\n

The true reason is that the box in which I store the triangles for this project is getting full. Also, I thought I would make a few blocks and see how they looked.<\/p>\n

My first step was to ask TFQ for the dimensions. She has the Pretty Little Mini Quilts book at the moment. She emailed me back right away with a 3.5″ size. When I cut a few of\u00a0 the squares I thought that looked terribly small. When I put one triangle on, the block did not look at all like the version I saw in Pretty Little Mini Quilts or on Flickr<\/a>. I must have misunderstood the size. Again, something that should have been a quick chain piecing and trimming start to a project has turned difficult.<\/p>\n

Difficult is a strong word. I have to test different squares sizes to see which one will suit the look I am trying to achieve. I wanted to focus on the Blue Janus quilt, so this was put to the side.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
