I’m done cutting my blocks! Woo! It took 2 days and 2 rotary cutter blades and lots of swear words but I did it. I’m doing a basic 9 patch because, frankly, I like it’s simplicity. It’s classic and it looks great, especially with nice fabrics that deserve showcasing. Each block will have 2 6.5″ squares and 2 2.5″x9 squares. Because I’m using the heart block I already made for the centre, I needed 24 different fabrics, a little math and voila, nothing is repeated!
So, I don’t know if you can tell right away, but I labeled each block with a number/letter, then went through them and shifted everything by 1 twice (oh, how can this already be confusing?) so block A has A, B, C in it, block B is B, C, D, block C is C, D, E and so on to the end where block X goes back to X, A, B.
Now does it make more sense? I might even start sewing tomorrow, we’ll see how I feel.
In gaming news, I’m in the middle of Lego Harry Potter on DS (it’s not great, Batman and Indiana Jones were way better), Lego Batman on PS3 (love it!) and the latest Mystery Case Files on this, my laptop. I subscribe to the emails so when I found out the latest case had been released, I sucked it up and threw it onto PayPal. It was awesome, unsurprisingly, and I finished it in record time. Then I somehow erased it, BOO!
Wow great colour selections Caitlin! I’m really excited to see it finished, I haven’t had the balls to start a project of that magnitude in a while myself… too much school at the moment.
I have finished sewing seven of them so far. I had to stop because not only does my back ache terribly, but I am tired and starting to make stupid mistakes. And I am desperate for a shower.
