So close -
Even though I usually talk about what I did "today" -
Because I post my stuff at 12:30AM the next morning -
It's actually what I did "yesterday" -
In "real life" - LOL - ;))
So - this post will "go live" on Saturday morning - August 1, 2020 -
But it's actually what I did on Friday - July 31, 2020 - ;))
===
Anyway -
Before I could "web" my Citrus Chips top -
I needed to check to see which way the seams were going in each block -
I made these blocks so long ago -
And pressed them ALL the same way -
Not paying attention to which way they might be rotated in the final layout -
Lucky for me - only a couple of the seams in each block were "set" -
The others could be pressed in a different direction if needed -
So -
I figured the easiest way to "see" what was going on with the seams -
Was to put them all on the wall "backwards" -
With the "right" side of the block to the wall -
And the "seam side" showing -
So I took each row off - one at a time -
And put them back on the wall - from right to left - with the seams showing -
When I got done - I had the "backside" of the top facing me -
And I could see ALL of the seams -
The blocks alternate - with the row seams going vertically and then horizontally -
So it was easy enough to "switch" the seams as needed -
I checked each column first -
And put a pin next to any seam that needed to be pressed in THAT direction -
So it would nest with the one above/below it -
Then I checked the rows -
And marked the seams the same way -
I re-pressed all of the blocks to set the seams -
Checked them again -
And decided that I would wait until Saturday to "web" the top -
Had some dinner -
Then played some games -
And about 8:00PM -
I got to thinking -
I wonder if I could web this top -
And have Flimsy #7 for July -
BOB said -
You're SO CLOSE - at least try - see if you can do it!! -
It shouldn't take you THAT long!!
So - I thought I'd give it a try -
And I did it - with an hour to spare -
Just enough time to take some photos and write up this post -
By 11:00PM - I had another flimsy -
Ta Dah!! -
Citrus Chips -
Flimsy #7 this month -
The colors are so YUMMY -
CORAL - GREEN - YELLOW -
So that makes SEVEN flimsys for July -
And THAT is a record for me -
And I have Mint Chip to play with -
So I should have at least ONE for August -
And BOB is daring me to do EIGHT -
But I don't think so - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

This top really shines. Beautiful!
Congrats on #7 for July. I think you should to 8 in the eighth month (August) just because.
Wow! You know me...I can’t “get” it all. Looks nice though.
Very pretty!
You are a super star! That is an amazing number of tops to sew together even if the blocks were already sewn. I love this quilt with its soothing and beautiful colors.
Eight? You can do it!!!
Way to go! You snuck another one in under the wire...whew :)
