Progression

Today is a bit of sewing this and that. That Pineapple Blossom pile has grown to 32.

"Squaring up" the bonus blocks in the evenings

The "blossom" square has a bonus of 4 half square triangles that could be used in a border...

or something else...jus' thinkin'....

Today is my bff Beth's birthday. She asked me for a table runner using some cherry fabrics we both were collecting on our recent Fabric Acquisition Road Trip (can you figure out the acronym on that one? hehehe). Beth has a sweet spot for cherries ~



I've been trying to figure out the twister for Beth's table runner. With the inspiration found here
at my cyber friend's blog in Ontario, Canada, I've worked on a practice block.

Photo taken from The Cozy Quilter's blog; cute, huh?


I am sharing my practice one right now, Because I was so excited it worked!!

mine: a 4patch of charm squares, framed with 3 1/2" white border

fabric swiss cheese :-} my homemade template is 3 3/4"; to make it,
I measured 3/4" from each corner, and drew a line connecting each mark.

Here are the cut squares laid out. Warning, this is a real quilt puzzle!


Uh-oh! I think I sewed something wrong...maybe if I flip it...


no, that didn't work, either! I guess I'll be ripping a seam.




Ta-Dah! Now, I'll try the cherries!

In the house, the storage room went from this ~

to this, oh, so nice to have a clean slate, so to speak. More to come later.

Hope your day is a creative, happy one!
