U/D - Pastel Brights - Sorting Sets 5-6-7-8 -

 

 

The other day I showed how I sorted Sets 1-2-3-4 - 

 

We need four more sets - 

But we want the "mix" of the fabrics - 

To be a little different - 

So I sorted these a different way - 

===

SORTING SETS 5-6-7-8 - 

Taking two jelly rolls - 

Unroll them and lay them out - 

As they come off the roll - 

With the fold the right - 

The loose ends on the left - 

And the BLUE one on top -

 

So far - it's the same as before - 

 

But this time - 

 

Shift the two piles vertically - 

 

Then - taking the left pile -

 

"Deal" the strips like a deck of cards-

 

Into four piles - 1-2-3-4-

 

Take the next four - 

And add them to the piles - 1-2-3-4-

 

And the next four - 

 

And the next four -

 

And the last four from the first jelly roll - 

 

Do the same with the second jelly roll - 

 

Until all of the strips have been "dealt" out - 

 

Now - 

Re-arrange the strips in each pile - 

 

Both BLUE together - 

Both YELLOW together - 

Both GREEN together - 

Both PURPLE together - 

Both PINK together - 

 

When I did that last step - 

 

I realized that the BLUE and PINK in each SET - 

 

Showed up in the SAME sets as in the first four that we sorted before - 

 

I didn't want ANY duplicates - 

 

So I decided to mix up the PINK ones - 

 

Here's how I did it -

 

Take the PINK ones off pile #4 - and set them to the side - 

 

Then shift the PINK ones - from each pile - over one pile to the right - 

 

Then put the PINK ones that were set aside from pile #4 - on the first pile -

 

There - 

 

Four  new sets - 

 

Same colors - in the same order - 

BLUE-YELLOW-GREEN-PURPLE-PINK -

 

Different mix of fabrics - 

 

Number them 5-6-7-8 -

 

Put them in separate baggies - 

 

And add them to the basket or box - 

Yesterday - 

I showed how I sew the strata in each set -

 

How I cut them into segments - 

 

And how I sewed the tubes - and the blocks - 

 

When I get ALL of the blocks sewn - 

 

I'll show you how I do the layout -  ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
