I got a few more Four Patch Shuffle blocks made at social sewing last week, a set of four blocks in the green/orange colorway.
Normally I try to have everything cut and kitted up for social sewing, but the parts for these blocks were not cut ahead of time so I had to think about the cutting while at social sewing. Think being the operative word - snowbirds are back and social sewing is all "So glad to see you!!! How was your summer?" Very social.
These are the parent blocks for the set.
Thank goodness, I didn't make any cutting mistakes and the piecing came together smoothly. The parent blocks were sliced and diced and recombined into a set of Four Patch Shuffle blocks.
A reminder of how they'll look in the quilt:
I'm a bit less than halfway finished making the blocks. No rush, no deadline. This is just a donation quilt. I don't expect to make any progress this week because we won't have social sewing this week. The room is being used for a class instead.

Sounds like a nice time getting to greet everyone again and make a bit of forward momentum on the project.
ReplyDeleteYou have nailed the "issue" with sewing and talking at the same time -- making mistakes. I tend to precut patterns or whole quilts when I go on retreat. Just so much easier. Your blocks look terrific. I'm guessing you get 4 blocks out of your "parent" blocks. The new blocks look very cool.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time. Even better you were able to stitch and catch up.
