Square Seven
It's beginning to feel like I am in the home stretch with this project. I now have 7 squares and I've started on square eight. I had thought that this project might have started to wear on me by now (I'm not known for either my patience or my ability to do most things multiple times), but instead I find it to be a nice comfortable project, perfect to work on when I need something to do with my hands. Probably it's only drawback is the fact that since it is a multicolored project, it is not terribly portable.
The baby that this project is being worked on for is only about 7 weeks away now. So I'm trying to pick up the pace a little bit so that I have plenty of time to finish the squares and get it finished out right. The more squares I have, the easier it is for me to visualize the final product.
Now I'm off to play with some fabric pieces. Tonight it's going to be time to start sewing the squares for my Serenity quilt together, and I want to spend some time thinking about what fabrics I like together the best. I'm actually really looking forward to sitting down in front of a sewing machine. Hopefully that feeling lasts through my class!
Having been an nonbeliever of the log cabin squares in the past, I have to tell you that I love your color combinations and arrangements, and I could actually see one of these in my future. Very nice!
Oh, I just love how your blanket is coming together. It looks spectacular on screen. :)
The squares are striking and I know it will be a wonderful baby blanket. I think working the squares between other projects is a wonderful idea. It is a good way to help you overcome the difficulties with repetition. I can see how these squares would be great for times when your hands need something to do.
Wow, go you! Excellent! I've been working the squares of a blanket project between other projects. It helps break up any monotony.
Your squares are beautiful! I love the colors you picked. I am excited to see what you do with your quilting project!
