- Conducted an archeology dig in the freezer, excavating many pounds of ice and discovering some interesting artifacts (which were quickly thrown away before they could thaw out;
- Chose some new lights (which was quite traumatic - turns out brass is no longer in style!);
- Painted two rooms - only about 10 more to go; and
- Managed to do some sewing!!
Step 3 in the Scrapitude Mystery Quilt involved sewing half square triangles to sets of quarter square triangles - 128 of them. We were to cut the half square triangles from 4 7/8 inch squares. I had about a million charm squares from a series of swaps a few years ago, so I used those. That meant I had to trim them down to size when I was done - but who am I kidding - I would have had to trim them in any case!
Here are about half of the finished pieces. I understand that this is the last "mystery" step and that we should be getting instructions to put it together next week. I'm quite excited to see how this turns out!
You have been busy! :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love how the scrap quilt turns out! Such a great idea using up bits and pieces.
Wow, you inspired me...I think I might go on an arctic dig tomorrow in my freezer...there are things in there I don't remember I am sure. Love your blog!
