Design Wall Monday - 9/28/20 -

 

I finished "un-sewing" and re-sewing - 

The second set of ORANGE blocks - 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Gleaned - top -
Gleaned - © Carolyn Friedlander - Robert Kaufman - 

I think the ORANGE ones are my favorites -

So - 

With all of the blocks fixed - 

It was time to play with the layout on the design wall - 

This is the FUN part - 

I wasn't so sure about these guys - 

But I think they play VERY nicely together - 

What do you think? -

 

Again - there will be one more row on the right -

 

And two more rows at the bottom - 

 

My wall only holds 5 x 6 - 10" blocks - 

 

But the whole thing will be 6 x 8 -  for a 60" x 80" top - 

 

When I get it "webbed" -

 

Which is next on the agenda -

 

 

Then - my next project will be "borrowed" from a friend - 

My friend, Gene Black, posted a new layout for his HST - HERE -

 

I liked it - A LOT - 

 

So I printed out a copy - 

 

And checked my stash - 

 

I don't think I have strips in his colors - 

 

And the larger HST and setting triangles can't be cut from 2-1/2" strips -

 

So I needed some yardage, too - 

 

 

 

 

I found a flat pack of batik strips - 

And a coordinating pack of 6" strips - 

Timeless Treasures - Tonga Treats - Citrus - 

Which I think is no longer available - sorry - 

The turquoise is yardage from my stash - 

 

I think the colors are pretty - 

 

And it will be a little bit scrappy - 

 

Which is not exactly what he had in mind - 

 

But it might be interesting - 

And he used "thangles" to make his HST - 

 

But I want to use my LEFT-EZE™ Rule - 

 

Cutting HST and QST from pre-cut strips -

 

With NO WASTE!! - 

 

Is the only way to go - LOL - 

Should be fun - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
