Over the weekend I took all my perfect starched squares and made them up into both rectangle blocks, and flying geese.Hurrah!
Once the blocks were put together I very carefully pressed the seams - in fact, I drew the right size retcangle on the ironing board, and pressed them to size to make sure they didn't come out wonky.
This evening I paired the rectangle blocks and flying geese together in order to make squares, and pressed them by the same method. I'm tempted to carry on and put the squares together, but I'm all out of concentration, so I'm best putting them away until tomorrow...
Your pieces are looking great!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna - they've had far more care lavished on them than I'd normally bother with, I must say!
DeleteYou are making great progress.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon - it feels like slow going - I don't know where the time goes. :-(
DeleteGoodness, I'm sure your preciseness will pay off! I'll be watching for the next installment.
ReplyDeleteIf I can't get an accurate sized top out of this one after this palaver, I don't think I ever will, Sunny!
DeleteThey look wonderful Hazel. I'm afraid I'd have been tempted to carry on, concentration or not, to "just put one block together", then another, etc, but that's why my stitch ripper and I are such good friends!
ReplyDeleteAha - an instance of that this evening, Sue - I should have stopped at the finished blocks, but went ahead to cut and sew some of the sashing. Let's just say that Percy Unpicker and I are on friendly terms again!
DeleteLooking good so far and you are right to take a break when you need it. I've done some terrible things when tired.
ReplyDeleteIt is so tempting to keep going, Sue, isn't it? Common sense (eventually!) won out this evening, though.
