Afternoon Delight

Yesterday, I decided it was time to start working on the pieced blocks for TQS 2020 BOM - Afternoon Delight since I finished the applique' pieces for this month last week.

To look at the photo, you wouldn't know that these blocks finished at 2 3/4"... yeah, tiny - not teeny tiny, but still tiny.

I got the first block done and went to work on the second one which would/will have red pieces instead of the blue that's in the first block that I made.

I KNOW that I had all the red blocks ready because I had to go back and cut a solid (not pieced block) block of red print for it.  But when I went to assemble the block, I realized that I was two pieces short - apparently, those two pieces, which I KNOW I had, did not like the working conditions of my sewing room and they walked off the job.  I CANNOT FIND THEM!

Ok, so we'll just make a green block in the meantime - you know that as soon as I cut new pieces of the red print, the two MIA pieces will 'miraculously' re-appear, so I chose to just move on to another color.

oh man!  I just noticed the layout of the tiny blocks... I'm not sure I can 'live with' them that way... I'm going to have to go back and change two of them... sigh.  It's all the red print's fault - I was so stressed over their disappearance that I wasn't thinking clearly.  Because of the 'stress' ( major blonde moment, I'm sure), once the green block was done, so was I and I called it a day for sewing.

Hopefully, things will go a little better today....
Watch for news of the MIAs.. there will either be a report that they've been found - or a reward for information leading to their 'arrest' will be issued.... or I'll just give in and make the blocks again.

In the meantime,

take care....
