Busy - busy - Part 2 -

OK -

I WAS going to play with these -

But Plan A didn't work -

And I didn't like Plan B -

But I had a Plan C - and a Plan D -

Plan C - sew sashing to each block with cornerstones - using two different colors - alternating between the blocks.

Sew the sashing first - then the Hearts
They would still be close to the edge - but I would only have to cut sashing/cornerstones.

Advantages -
1 - Joining the blocks should be easy.
2 - Should give me a 4-patch in the corners between the blocks
3 - Don't have to cut 30 new background blocks and "re-kit" them.

Plan D - find some FQ and cut 30 BIGGER background squares - ;))

Plan C didn't seem like it was even worth a try after I un-sewed all eight of the hearts from the background squares - they would STILL be close to the edge - so I skipped that and went straight to Plan D - found some yummy batik Fat Quarters -

That would go with the border/backing fabric that I chose years ago -

And then the question became - how big to cut the new background squares? - 12-1/2" seemed like a good number - but I wasn't sure I wanted to commit to it just yet -

And I still needed to finish up the new pages for my Scrapbook - which I did -

Then I remembered that the next batch closest to being DONE was the batch that needs FMQ -

O Happy Christmas -

And Basic Math -

But before I play with Basic Math -

I want to play with my rulers some more -

And then I see the Deep Red Crumb Blocks sitting there - waiting their turn -

But before I play with those - I wanted to finish up the Dresden Plates - pulled them out - and realized that I already DID the quarter plate sections on the rest of them - and all they need now is the final layout and the "centers" fused and appliqued down -

The "twosies" are already on the wall - I just need to fill in the corners -

And then I can do the layout for the Blue/Green Blocks -

And the Autumn Colors Blocks -

And play with the One-Block Wonder Blocks for this one -

And the Blue one - ;))

It was like -

I want to do this - but I really should do this first - but before I do that - I should do this - and it went on and on and on -

So -

I couldn't decide -

And I made two more Summer Breeze strata instead - LOL - ;))

Now I have four sets - that need to be pressed and cut -

But I also have some tops that need backings made -

Then they need to be layered - and basted -

Before I worry about what size to cut the background squares -

For the Hearts - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
