Sometimes -

The obvious totally escapes me - LOL - ;))

I thought this jelly roll would make a pretty bargello -

And I could have the prints running up and then back down again -

With the FLORAL in the center of the GOLDS as the "reverse" point -

But if I do it that way -

I need an EVEN number of duplicates -

To make the pattern run up and then back down again a second time -

So that I can sew them all into a "tube" -

Which appears to have no beginning or end -

And then cut the tube into strips of various widths for the bargello effect -

But I have THREE of each print - and one extra -

So I went back to the drawing board -

And then the OBVIOUS solution hit me - LOL -

If I have THREE of each print - and one extra -

I can forget about the extra one -

And simply lay them out -

In order -

In THREE identical repeats -

With no back and forth color runs -

Like this -

Problem solved - LOL - ;))

Have you ever -

Totally missed something -

That SHOULD have been obvious? - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
