I hope all of you out there in “blogland” have a happy new year and continue to post in the new year. I have enjoyed reading so many blogs out there, I don’t have them all included in my side bar. One day I need to update that list. We normally stay home on New Years Eve and just have our normal routine plus maybe stay up late to watch the ball drop on Times Square on the tv. If I stay up late I will get more sewing done while the tv is on.
Yesterday I finished a Dear Jane block for the “Insanity Revisited” quilt. I haven’t mentioned it much lately I know but I am trying to not forget it and keep doing a block or two a week (sometimes). The latest:
This is block 8 from Row 9. I am in the process of cutting out pieces for the next block - all 41 pieces of it! Some of these are tiny pieces. I save a lot of the scraps from these fabrics as I am cutting if they are bigger than an inch squre they are normally saved. Well for block 10 almost half of the pieces were cut from those tiny scraps!
Several have asked what size quilt the scrappy quilt will be that I am making circles and 4 patches for. Right now I intend to make it a queen size. The blocks are 3 1/2 inch so I need a lot of them. I don’t have the figures in front of me but I think I need 315 of circles and 315 4 patches. I haven’t figured the size of the border so it might turn out that when I get the amount of patches done that I stated ( and circles) that I will need to make more, but right now I think that is the correct number.
Again Happy New Year and thanks for stopping by.
