Another way to go -

Came to me last night in that twilight state of being half-awake and half-asleep -

When my brain wouldn't shut up and wanted to play "What if???" - ;))

Instead of removing one turquoise and one pink strip from each panel to eliminate the "doubles" at the ends when I make the "tube" -

What if??? -

I ADDED another turquoise strip BETWEEN the two matching turquoise ones -

And ADDED another pink strip BETWEEN the two matching pink ones -

That would save me having to "unsew" those loooooooooooong seams -

It would make the whole thing 4" longer -

The color run would switch back the other way -

And maybe even look like I planned it that way - LOL - ;))

I love it when I figure out another way to do something -

There is ALWAYS more than one way to do something - ;))

Then after I chose the "extra" strips - from a couple of other jelly rolls on hand -

I realized that the turquoise one is the same design as the pink "doubles" -

And the pink one is the same design as one of the yellows I used -

So maybe it WILL look like I planned it that way - LOL - ;))

Tomorrow I'll try to get the panels pressed - and the tubes made and cut -
(It's easier for me to press the panels BEFORE I make the tube - then I only have the very last seam to press)

But first I have to clear off the kitchen island -

AGAIN - LOL -

I don't know how it got so much stuff on it between yesterday when I laid out the panels and now when I have the extra strips sewn on and the two panels made -

Maybe it's a clutter magnet because it's the only flat surface in the house that rarely has stuff on it long-term - and it's the easiest/fastest to clear off when I need it for something - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
