It is rather obvious that I have not updated my blog in quite a while. I was doing well and was managing to still complete a block a day despite having quite an upheaval in my home circumstances. I also finally managed to get away for a couple of weeks in June for a much needed break and then didn't manage to catch up with my blocks until 1st August. Now I am at the stage where I only have 12 more of the dark 3.5" squares of the final border to do. However, I am in the process of joining some of the small squares together to make 6.5" squares ready to put into the outer border. This is where I have now seen how bad some of my earlier squares were. Today I decided that one was so bad it needed re-doing completely....but my problem is that I have no idea what the block was called. I cannot find it by reading my notes, so will have to trawl through each of the day's emails from the 365 web site to find a picture of it! I expect there will be others I need to re-do. Having spent so much time on this quilt, not to forget the expense of the fabrics, that I feel I cannot put up with poorly pieced blocks. Some might not notice them, but I certainly would.
So my ironing board has piles of 3.5" blocks sorted into similar layouts so that I can 'randomise' the look of the border. I don't want any too similar to its neighbour when I sew them together.
My design wall is not big enough obviously........
