Progress report: “I’m So Dizzy” is down to one row left to make. Layout to still be determined. Right now on the portable design wall:
A little bit well need to be changed out still. The bottom row looks too dark in the middle, I think I need to exchange the block that is outlined in red to something else also on the top right hand side 3 fairly dark blocks in a row. Little things here and there. I have six block left to sew. I am playing with an idea in my head that CJ placed there – have the outside rows on point – if I do that though I will either need to cut those blocks down a little bit or add sashing in between the rows as putting them on point will make them bigger than the blocks in the rows if you know what I mean. When she saw the design wall the other day when I had run out of room I was tacking the blocks on point on the sides to put them up and off the cutting table. She mentioned it and I like the idea, but if I do that the blocks are too big – hence the idea for sashing. When I get done with all the blocks I will rearrange the blocks and see how I like the idea and decide from there.
Headache is finally about gone – just about came back good when I was sewing and discovered that 2 of my 6 1/2 inch strips were cut to 6 inches and one 10 1/2 inch strip was 10 inches. I didn’t have many strips left over and was I going to be able to fix this!! I was lucky for most of the fix but one of the 6 1/2 inch strips had to have a 1/2 piece sewed onto the end, I just didn’t have anything long enough to replace it – I figure with so much print and color going on here it will not be noticeable.
Are you watching the super bowl tonight – having a party? We will probably put the game on – but we aren’t really all that into football unless the Arkansas Razorbacks are playing (and playing well) or the Green Bay Packers (and playing well) – we like the advertisements!! Normally I can’t stand advertisements – but these are usually some of the best and more like mini-movies at times.
