A good sewing day -

 
 
And lots of progress - 
 
On my Bali Pops™ - Mulberry 16-patch -
Pattern by Wanda S. Hanson -  Exuberant Color
You can find her EXCELLENT tutorial - HERE
 
I made one "mixed" set of four blocks -
 
From these two sets of segments - 
 

 
I thought that since they both had the same PINK as the "light" one - 
 
It wouldn't be as noticeable if they were "mixed up" - 


 
All four - 
 
 
 The first two are "regular" - 
 

 
The third one - 

 
Is the same as the fourth one - 
 
Just "upside down" -  

So one can go one way - 

And the other can go the other way - 

 
Or they can both go this way - 

 
Or they can both go this way - 
 
So many possibilities - LOL - 

 
Then I sewed six sets of "regular" blocks - 
 

 
These two fabrics both read as "dark" to me - 
 
So I arbitrarily designated the GREEN as the "light" one in this set - 
 

 
I almost "mixed up" these next two sets - 
 
But decided to let them be "regular" - 
 



 
I like these GOLD ones - 


 
And all of these PURPLES are BEAUTIFUL - 



I sewed even more sets - 
 
But this post is long enough already - 
 
So tomorrow I'll show you the rest of them - ;))


Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

First set of blocks -

 
 
For my Bali Pops™ - Mulberry 16-patch -
Pattern by Wanda S. Hanson -  Exuberant Color
You can find her EXCELLENT tutorial - HERE
 
HAD to be ones from these strip sets - 


 
 
When I first posted this photo - HERE
 
Gene's comment was - 
Grin! I think the reason I haven't done a sixteen patch is that I would be too tempted to mix the sections together in the block. Those two sections just beg me to do that. 
So you KNOW that I HAD to try it - LOL -
 
And I did - 
 
First I laid out the segments "normally" - 
 

 
Then I switched up the ones on the RIGHT - 
 
 
Sewed the four blocks together - 
 
And got this - 
 

 
When I put them up on the wall -
 
I put one of each "normal" 16-patch with the LIGHT patch in the top LEFT corner -  

 

 
And put the two "mixed" ones with the GREEN in the top LEFT corner - 





But the lighter PURPLE is also light - 
 
And could be in the top LEFT corner of either one or both -
 
Providing more variety in the layout - 
 
I may "mix" a few more sets as I go along - 
 
Or I may leave this set as an "I Spy" challenge - 
 
"One of these (sets of four) is NOT like the others" - LOL - ;))

Another Heart -

 
 
And Scrap Card - 
 
For my Dresden Plates - 
 
I even appliqued a PURPLE piece to it -
 
Because I could - LOL - ;))
 

 

 
 
Then I cut a couple of strip sets - 
 
For my Bali Pops™ - Mulberry 16-patch - 
Pattern by Wanda S. Hanson -  Exuberant Color
You can find her EXCELLENT tutorial - HERE
 
And sewed them back together for the next step - 
 
And pressed them all nice and neat - 
 
 

 
Now they are ready to be run through my die cutter - 
 
But I'll wait until I have a bunch of them - 
 
Since I can cut 10 layers at a time - 
 
And - if I stagger them - 
 
I can cut quite a few at a time with one pass through the cutter - 
 
In the meantime - 
 
I have more "chores" planned for tomorrow - 
 
So - hopefully - I'll get some sewing done, too - ;))

Playtime -

 
 
First I sorted the Bali Pops™ - Mulberry - 

Into pairs of strips - 

For another 16-patch - 
Pattern by Wanda S. Hanson -  Exuberant Color
You can find her EXCELLENT tutorial - HERE
 
 
 
I had so much fun sewing the last one - 
 
I thought I would make another - 
 
The blocks go together quickly - 
 
And the size of the top is perfect - 64" x 80" - for a lap-size throw - 
 
Wide enough to snuggle under - 
 
And long enough to cover your toes - ;))
 
Then I played with sorting the scraps -
 
For my Blue Moon 16-patch - 

So that I can make the Scrap Card and Heart -
 
Before I get too far along sewing the 16-patch strips together - 
 
 

 
Maybe I should try to catch up on the other Scrap Cards and Hearts - 
 
While I sew the strips for this 16-patch - 
 
Switch back and forth between the two projects - 
 
Maybe keep me from getting bored with either one of them - 
 
That might work - LOL - ;))
