Digging into the Design

Digging into the design wall on eclipse day!

Credit DW STEVENS

 The wall was really getting stacked up !


So off comes the color bombs for retreat sewing.  

I made enough for three small tops and the extra 1 1/2" strips

are nicely stored in designated drawers. 


The next layer is a twin log cabin 

that is waiting for a back and layering. 

It can move over to the flimsy storage 

rack with its twin!




That exposes the problem item, 

the result of a squirrel one cold

weekend.  It is a braid that got off 

track when I neglected to focus on 

the centerline! 


 I have a plan so I will 

pack it up to work on it sometime soon

The last two things on the design wall 

are more log cabin and waffle blocks. 

The waffle blocks are ongoing so no worries 

there but this is not another year of log cabins. 

The 8 blocks on the wall need to find a home . 


They are an assortment of colors left over from my 

brief foray into making a two sided quilt with 

log cabins on the back. 

Once I re-evaluated and found I already have 3 log cabin style in 

my collection, they weren't needed. So they will either:

1- go onto a quilt back to make it larger or

2-get mixed in with the last log cabin block stack to make 

a larger quilt. 

Hope you safely enjoyed the solar eclipse over North 

America!

Stay safe and keep those solar glasses on!
