C is for Crazy!

and Cats

Wait, I'm not even through with Ds and I'm supposed to be moving on to the Es!

After sleeping on more "pressing" issues overnight, 

I awoke with a new plan to fix my Dots dilemma from yesterday.  

At Gayle's (mangofeet) suggestion, I moved the triangle error ...

... to the other end of that row.

And that simultaneously corrected the other pressing issue.  

You see, in order for the block seams to nest, I need "innies" in one direction and "outies" in the other.  And the blocks need to alternate within a row as well as from row to row.

Vertical Innies and Horizontal Outies

Rather than take a clue from the first quilt I finished several years ago ...

Dots and Dashes #1

... I carefully pressed all seams inward on the new batch of blocks.

Oops

Sew, I had a plan!  But on my way downstairs I noticed this

Do you know how hard it is to concentrate with the entire Mexican army pounding away on the roof???  I needed to get my mind off of this, too ...

Smushed Peony

I spied the cats in a pile of fabrics and decided their bright colors would distract me.  

I will need to sash them in order to get them to a uniform size.  

Then I will come up with a plan for alternate blocks, hoping to use some of these brights in the mix.

Dots will have to mature another day.
