Have you ever gone “down a rabbit hole”?
You know….you are working on one thing and then magically, you are headed into something completely different!!
That is what happened to me this week.
I was enjoying my 10-minute scrapping sessions but felt like I had enough blues squares….
…..and maybe it was time to switch to a different color.
The only problem was that I still had SO many blue scraps left, particularly in that “marine blue” color……
And then I had tons of 4-patches……
….and even more 2-patches…..
I REALLY wanted to use them up before I moved on.
WHAT……TO……DO??
Of course….. let’s make 9-patches, alternating the pre-pieced 4-patches and the blue squares!
After three 10-minute sessions, I had these pieced……
Since I had worked hard at my desk during the week, I decided to give myself two hours in my studio on Saturday morning.
Again, the question of “WHAT…..TO…..DO”?
Let’s keep making 4-patches, using up ALL of the pre-pieced couplets……
Then I started adding blue squares…..
….and before long I was ready to lay it out on the design wall….
….make two more blocks to finish the design, and….
VOILA…..it was ready to piece together…..
Isn’t this a fun center for a quilt??
I love the sparkles of color.
And, best of all, I finished with 2-minutes to spare out of my 2-hours….
Tomorrow I will add one border!!
