Take Two


Oh, what a wonderful weekend. First I cut squares...




Then I drew lines and pinned...





Stacked some nice neat piles of fabric sandwiches and sewed each one...twice



Then I chopped them in half (much fun!!!)


 And yay me - now to the design wall for some HST play.


I have had to put this quilt aside for the time being, as it is intended for a birthday in June and the above lovely must come to fruition by the end of March. This new lovely is my 'Take Two' Night of Hope quilt, as the first one was not coming together as I hoped it would. I was not entirely happy with the points and because it is such a special quilt, I really wanted to be proud of its construction. I have decided to scrap the pattern altogether and go free style with the above HST's, as I have really enjoyed this type of design lately. I may return to the original eventually and finish it up as a keeper for me.

Wishing you all a wonderful week! Looking forward to weeks end as I am heading to Vegas Friday eve. YAY!
