Only in Minnesota
Only in Minnesota can the temps go from 2 degrees above to 36 degrees in a matter of hours.
I did miss out on a lot of sun streaming into my bedroom porch this afternoon. No reading for me today. Today the t-shirt blocks were all cut down to 16″ square. That is all but a few that I need to bulk up to 16″ square. That is what happens when you need to make it up as you go to make a quilt top.
Dennis came down to help with the layout of the blocks. As with t-shirts, there are few real colorful ones. That will be up to me when I use corner stones at the junction of the blocks when they are joined by the 3″ fabric strips, aka; sashing. We do have the layout nailed down. The blocks will be five wide by six tall.
There is also a situation where I will need to embroidery something on five blocks as the same fabric as the backing to fill in where I am short of Harley t-shirts. There are no more t-shirts to squeeze out of AJ. It sure does make things interesting. Now comes the creative portion of this project. Cutting up the t-shirts was a slam dunk. What Dennis and I are in total agreement to, is that this project will be long armed at Old Alley. She has a computerized unit and can make it do whatever design she plugs into it.
On a no-mind topic. I think supper will be soup and sandwich.
A new week that also brings in a new month. I sure hope the new one is kind to us. We have not been alone in this unpredictable winter. From all corners of the country, there has been weather issues. I am so thankful family has been safe . . . maybe not always happy, but . . . safe.
