Day 1
After dropping DH off at the car rental place early this morning (we're still operating with one vehicle), I headed west for about 20 miles and then north through the back roads of Kentucky. I joined my friends at Loucon, a Methodist training and retreat center, just in time for lunch.
Once I had made my nest, I planned to add the final borders to 9-Patch Bonanza.
Even with a really good pressing, though, the pieced inner border is just too wavy from my stretching things to make them fit. I wasn't in the mood to rip or even to think about how to deal with it so the project went back in the box, AGAIN. sigh ...
Next I pulled out the chunky churndash blocks. First I put them on my design wall to get a nice distribution of colors.
My goal was to get the lightest blocks in the center, but I only somewhat succeeded. Oh, well, it won't be obvious when I get the alternate blocks in there. Here's my start ...
I have 8 of the 15 rows together, but didn't get a picture before I had to take them down off my neighbor's design wall. I have cut all the remaining quarter-squares for the center and it looks like I may have enough fabric to keep the pattern going into the side triangles.
Priscilla is assembling a beautiful sampler made with Civil War prints ...
Donna put binding on a T-shirt quilt ...
and Sharon has been working on an original design ...
Time for bed.
Lovely projects in the go!
