Thursday, May 8
For two days I have been playing checkers with fabric squares. Moving them up, down, sideways, all around the white poster board I have them laying on.
I have about 900 little squares to choose from. I purchased them from an online site a few months ago. Fall colors; green, gold, brown and beige. Also bright and bold colors, some blue.
I have been admiring a cute little tote bag pattern that takes 40 3″ triangles on the front side and 40 on the back. Five strips of eight triangles per side. Thinking if I selected 40 for the front I could duplicate the same for the back. Trying to coordinate the colors as well as the fabric is hard work and mind boggling at times. One minute I have it the way I want it and then I see the same color too close together. Then back to playing checkers.
Sensing I was never going to be satisfied with my selection, I headed to JoAnn’s. They have Fat Quarters on sale this week for just 99 cents. I found quite a few I liked.
Maybe I will make something from all three groupings. I haven’t sewn in a couple days and I am feeling the need to stitch up something.
