But before proceeding too far I wanted to construct one sample block to determine if there were any gotchas I need to be aware of when sewing the triangles together. It came out nice and I'm well pleased with it.
I'll be making 25 of these blocks. Each one has 48 pieces in it x 25 blocks = 1200 pieces. Yup, the math works out!
And I keep coming across new projects I'd like to make. Better start a list so I don't forget them all.
I stopped at a local thrift shop this afternoon and found a bag of fabric along with a finished, pieced top all for $15. The top is very attractive and quite well made. It alone is worth hundreds. I wonder who made it? I wonder why it was never finished? One thing's for sure, I'm going to have it finished. It measures 58" square. The fabric is very beautiful.
Oddball weather here lately. Thaws and freezes. Snow and ice. Lot's of ice. Not as much snow. It's February 8th; I figure in 2 months time we'll be greeting spring full heartedly, albeit impatiently. Of course, officially, spring arrives next month but we all know that she and the calendar don't communicate all that well. But I am starting to dream of warm weather and gardens and flowers and bugs. ... I think this year I will build some sort of screen enclosed area on my deck so I can bring the cello outside without getting bitten to death.
At this time of year I look back at pictures I took last summer and it doesn't seem possible that the vegetation could ever be that lush and rampant. These days I can see clearly through the forest tops and beyond to summits behind them. Most certainly not so in the summer.
