I have completed 30 blocks of 16 patches. The fall colors look great. I am on a stand still waiting for my mojo to resize the acorn pattern. The printer would not cooperate.
The goal was to have all 16 squares be different fabrics. And of course, my photo shows one with a duplicate.
Additionally, I have been working on a version of a log cabin having just 1/4 of it at a 14 inch size to share the pattern with friends. I am working with red, white and blue colors for a summer picnic quilt.
And while watching my television, I have been stitching away at my cross stitch. It is coming along nicely. Although yesterday, I had to tear our rows and made many mistakes. I guess it was just not my day.
I like using the even weave cross stitch fabric. But my old eyes have a hard time counting sometimes. Or, I end up crossing the stitches the wrong way. Mistakes happen, as in life Ugh.
Both quilt starts look great. Nice to see you sewing again. Too bad about the mistakes with the cross stitch, I understand the older eye thing. I no longer knit or crochet while watching tv at night. Only can knit and crochet during the day, especially if I'm using darker colors.
