The HST patterns says "make 72 units". It is in black and white and I have read it many many many times.
How come I have 96 units cut up and ready to go?!!!!! arghhhhhh

Yes, yes, I know I could also make a baby quilt out of it BUT i don't want another HST quilt now...the next 15 projects in my head are keen to materialise!
Here is what the HST project looks like (random placement/not final yet) at the moment with the next few identical units pinned on the current ones in an attempt to introduce a bit of order and control!
As I am too knackered to sew tonight I have cut endlessly...I now have the setting triangles for this quilt also ready (hopefully in the right measurements) and also a gorgeous Kaffe Fassett and shot cotton combination Zig-Zag quilt for my gorgeous nephew..there will be a sneak preview at my next blog!
Off to Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I see an orphan block quilt in your future!!! Just keep them all, eventually you will have an interesting collection.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep a list of everything that's in your head on a noticeboard. Sometimes you can get too full and end up going nowhere. If you have a sort of plan you can keep going. Eventually you can start ticking them off the list, and that feels good!
I constantly constantly cut wrong - cut before measuring, mis-cut - and it always seems to be in my fave fabric, last piece. Grrrr. Everyone says measure once, twice and then cut but I always know better...I need to measure, you need to read!
