Less Than Good
I will have to admit there may be some truth in weather making arthritis act up. I have missed taking my walk for two days due to the snow storm yesterday and the muck today. I do need to make sure that my footing is secure. Nothing worse than trying to get a retiree up after taking a spill while trying to do something healthy. When I checked, the wind was quite active with the cool temperatures.
When the box arrived several weeks ago and I had a quilt to finish, there was included a huge amount of fabric and fabric kits as a gift to me. There was one huge plastic bag of triangles included. Oh so many sets of six. Every six triangles were pinned together. There was also printed a three-page instructional that looks as if it has been passed to one quilter after another. Reading it over several times was needed to make sense of all the triangles.
The pattern required yardage that had huge colorful print. Just as in wallpaper, designs repeat themselves in fabric. The fabric was laid out so that there would be a repeat that amounted to six strips laying on top of each other matching the designs one on top of another using the 44 inches of width in the yardage. The six strips were then cut into triangles keeping the strips secure so as to not shift. Each set of six triangles can then be arrayed making a hexagon. The finished hexagon then takes on the same image as a kaleidoscope. Oh, how I loved those from times past.
I think I have my work cut out for me. I foresee oh so many hexagons. I also foresee checking out a few more videos after each set of six has been sewn as to how do all these different hexagons get put together?
There is more than one way to skin a cat. The weather may be bothering my arthritis . . . I know keeping busy can also take my mind off of a lot of aches.
