as long as i have scraps. i guess the answer is Yes.a blog which i cannot remember posted a quilt from a show & it reminded me of the Trip Around The World quilt that i made as a wedding present many years ago. i should post that picture. only took 1. & it's pre-digital times. i even think that i typed the label on my manual typewriter at work. could i be that old. yes i could. & i think that i ironed it. & ironed it. & ironed it. until i thought that the ink would not run. i'll have to call my old friend up & see how it's holding up. & how she's holding up. & see if she will take a picture of that label. what i do remember was that it was before rotary cutter times. does anyone know when the first rotary cutter was introduced?
here's my old book.
& the cardboard templates that i traced around with a pencil. the notches were to be cut so that you could both line up the strips for sewing & after sewing you would know where to cut. oh yeah. the good old days. this pattern is not in my old book.i made some fabric changes. the middle section needed more contrast. tricky if i'm going for a muted blended palette. & this is how it looks now.
i suppose i like these one-block-at-a-time projects because i just don't know what will happen next.
