This found quilt is taking up a lot
room on the design wall.
Last week's layering created a big wind and
took most of my laid out design down.
Back up and working, it is about at the halfway mark.
really a boost in enthusiasm!
It was lost in the archives for years
so any bit of progress is a finish!
Getting back to it after the Log Cabin finish,
brought to light a few variations,
and you know how I love variations!
It turns out that I started my rows with the
wrong colour squares. That calls for just a little bit of reworking
of the layout for other rows. It also makes it difficult to
work from the lower right corner,
without making the same mistake again.
It seems that there are a different number
of rows across the quilt from one side to the other!
That will result in either another added or
one taken away somewhere. This is definitely turning to
a little bit of an adventure.
I guess that's a bit predictable because
sea glass rolls all over the ocean before it
ends up on a beach to be admired.
Wish me luck and calm currents
while I finish up this greeny-blue beauty.
Updated!
Here it is all finished and ready!
