I was cleaning in my sewing room and came upon these beautiful kaliedescope blocks that I started last year before my two sons’ weddings. I was happily surprised to see them again:)
I quickly put aside everything else and decided that they had waited long enough and today was the day that they were going to again meet the sewing machine. I added the corner triangles to make them square. And then trimmed the block to a a neat square:)
Aren’t they so pretty? It’s amazing what a 45 degree ruler can do!
I then gathered up my teals, reds, and yellows and started cutting strips and stacking them into piles to make log cabin blocks.
For any of you who have never made a log cabin block, it is really very very easy. You cut the strips or “logs” and then, starting with the center squares, sew them together in a clockwise direction making the block bigger one log at a time.
SWEET!
I think I will be able to finish this tomorrow or the next day. I wonder why I waited so long? Oh yes, two weddings and summer vacations and well, life…..
Until tomorrow– Tracy:)
It's a T-Sweets day!
