While not a crossword puzzle, this latest quilt top certainly had me puzzled at times. I'm talking about my Pineapple Blossom by Bonnie K. Hunter. I thought everything was going easy until I went to put sashing on one of the rows... hmm, second block is MUCH bigger than sashing. Check sashing length, yep, that's right, tried a second block in that spot - same result... I don't know! So I switched it from second position to first and now everything fits ( well, except that inch that hangs over the edge... I'll lop it off even with the rows on each side)... Got it all stitched together... now to decide on borders - how many, how big, etc. I have a little bit of the black & white cat fabric left and that might make a good thin inner border; will have to check to see what else I might have... and remember that the larger pieces are needed for backings.
It's not exactly what I'd call beautiful, but I'm sure someone will enjoy cuddling up and keeping warm in it.
this was a minor problem - almost laughable... easy fix... next time PAY ATTENTION!!
Hubby has to go for a PET scan on Monday, so I guess housecleaning will have to wait another day... oh darn! LOL The test takes about two hours, so I think I'll go ahead and get another block for Vintage Tin ready to take with me; maybe I'll take my little dvd player and the movie I bought earlier this week... Beauty - apparently a new version of Beauty and the Beast... plus there are 9 other movies in the pack - like Father's Little Dividend, Made for Each Other, Royal Wedding with Fred Astaire and Jane Powell - OLD OLDIES, but worth it... especially when the pack was only $5 at Walmart.
Ok, time to kick back and relax for a few minutes before heading to bed....
