It's August FriYay!

I had a heck of a time figuring out how to put this mess of 4- Patches together.

At Powered by Fabric on Wednesday that's

 all I got to work on.

I came Home and laid it out.

There was some Frogging that had to happen to make them turn in the same direction. 

I think I like it so far...

I had to stop when the clock struck Midnight. 

I pinned the unsewn squares so I'm ready to stitch them on each row.

 I need to cut some more White parts

for the edges. They will be trimmed.

Eddie says to cut them an inch bigger on one side.

So, I will cut 4.5" x 5" pieces.

I won't lose the 1/4" seam that way.

Then I can choose borders.

I think I will do a 3 strip border then Scallop it.

That center Square is not staying. 

I have an extra Butterfly square that can go there.

More Ripping to do before I sew the rows together. 

Using up my Purple Stash!

The four Patches are mostly Scrappy, so laying it out was the only way to distibute them around. 

I needed to find a Tan piece like this.

It's for the Reindeer in Week 3 of 

"Up on the Housetop" QAL 

I thought I  had a piece in my stash somewhere. 

Into the tote-filled room I dug.

DH came down looking for me and helped me get out of the room by handing me totes to stack back in a different order. I found a few totes of Christmas  projects to find a Tan close to this.

I looked at Stash, but they didn't have that Bolt with the fabrics line Pine & Berry.

This might Work, if it is wide enough to

 cut the many pieces.

I get to use the whole set of Alphabitties and a few of the Double letter set I already have! Yea.

But first I need to sew those rows I laid out...

I was too tired to pin all these blocks together so they are still on the Design floor.

I was extra ache-y on Thursday at the Temple.

Quilt Yoga is hard on this old person.

This is the other corner- Stacked and 

ready to stitch

And pinned!

See that Extra Butterfly square pinned to where

 it needs to go?

After I get going today I can Sew.

DH has 2 appointments. 

He went to the 1st one alone while I get going.

I was up before my Phone alarm rang. 

It was a PopTart morning.

Remember these?

The inspiration for a Wedding Quilt made in 2018.

I was busy that year!!

Happy August!
