Last week I shared the update for my “10-minutes per day” scrap quilt…..
Today, let’s examine week four.
I started out on Monday using 1×2 strips that I had already sewn and put them together into one long strip, 12 inches long.
Next, I added some strips that I THOUGHT were 2.5 x 4.5, and that ended Monday…..
On Tuesday, I added another set of 2.5 x 4.5 strips to the other side…..
….but couldn’t figure out why it was only 5.5 inches wide????
The light dawned when I realized that the rectangles used were actually 2×3.5.
The first task for Wednesday was to add more 1-inch squares to the side so that it was now 6.5 x 12.5…..
….ie….the PROPER size.
Since that first block had been so painful, I quickly threw together 9 squares to make another before the time was up……
When Thursday dawned, I started with a handful of 2-inch cut squares….
….and finished this block, plus one additional 4-patch before the timer rang…..
When Friday rolled around, I simply wasn’t in the mood!!! I had woken up at 3:00 and been on the go for over 5-hours!! What I REALLY wanted was a 10-minute nap!!
BUT, I pulled myself into the studio and sewed one 9-patch using the 4-patches that I had started yesterday…..
And, even though it wasn’t a lot of fun, I am VERY glad that I kept the streak going!!
So, here is haul for week 4…..
….and here is the Project-to-date…..
The question in my mind is “what are you going to do with all of these???”
I have a few ideas and will share those soon.
Come back for next week….it will be last week of BLUE!!
