Aliens have landed!

 I needed an afternoon project , 

so I pulled out a box .  

It is a spiderweb with 9 webs 

worth of wedges cut 

but no assembly done!

Quickly discovered the reason it was waiting . 

The pattern says to join them with

  diamond shaped pieces. 

I think I just lost confidence 

on joining them and they

 slowed slipped into the UTTTC

 ( under the table time capsule).

When I opened this box, I had one of those

how did this happen, where did it go, moments.

I had actually " reviewed" it last year since 

it had a dated label.  It is in the 

STSF ( star trek stasis field). Yes!  

Too much scifi! Aliens are

leaving their unfinished projects!

I pulled out and counted the wedge piles, 

found the directions and my notes

(hurray for notes), and Viola! came up 

with plan!

Changed the design to square joiners.

There may be some partial or inset seams

here, but it will work itself out .

Inspired by a McCall's quilting article, 

designed by Sandy Klop 2010,

gives a little hint on the age of this project. 

So, assembly started by sewing 

 the wedge bits together

Piecing and joining is 

always good for using up

scrap bobbins, so that was fun.

The circles/octagons went 

together quite quickly!

 I remembered to really watch the center join. 

 Marking the 1/4" join diligently with 

a pin so helped, the result was pretty good. 

Next , my steam iron died!!

 Just started turning off and dripping. 

I finished up using a lovely travel iron my DH 

gifted me at Christmas. 

First five on to the design wall! 

A few more.

Into the sew zone and turned out 

 a bunch more . When I looked up....

The world looked tilted! 

 I had started the design on a slant and 

the blocks look like they 

are ready to roll away!

Then I began auditioning some colors to

put in the square joining spaces. 

Should be an interesting journey!

I am setting this as a one month goal. 

Inspiration and motivation should 

help finish this project! Three

sew days this month should help also!
