Sideways

 

By the time I figured out that I wanted the design to run sideways, I had sewn three rows together, so I had to do some unsewing. Then I had to move the blocks on the design wall, yet keep them in sequence so I could shift the design. I used Julie's paper-plate method.

I had to redesign two additional rows at the bottom.

Then it was start sewing things together. Pressing all the seams open kept the blocks more in shape. 


After I make my blocks, I always trim them to size. It means things sew up much more accurately.


Here all the rows are sewn together. I will add creams as a border and the quilt needs a name.

Woot, woot, this layout is brilliant! It brings to mind the woollybear caterpillars, do you have them in New Hampster (ala Milly’s lexicon)?
