there is no 'behind' Losie [except the ones we sit on
Fraew.... I share your venting.... so what happened to me - aside from the fact I haven't posted much - actually will post next weeks tomorrow because I have a couple more pointers and was so far behind I simply decided to skip over this weeks a while! I've been enjoying sitting back with DH watching or simply listening to tv while hand appliqueing & sewing. I haven't quite gotten to the part where you do the whole thing by hand although I must say it is sooooo very very much softer when you do! here cometh the frustration... ahem
since I've been working by hand I fast forwarded and started a few hand appliqued blocks. namely, E1 and E2 [and C5, 6 and D3...] well it appears I cut the background square of E2 just a tad small. Measured the center of the book pattern with the Dear Jane square by accident - BE CAREFUL - dont do that one!! so it measured 3 1/4" finished instead of the real 3 1/2" eeeek!! when I sewed on the final border to the square which was appliqued and had been sewn on a generous piece of background so I could have prevented this... I placed my DJ square ruler once again to 'trim' the excess [haha] off and thought to myself ..'looks small' Because it was! now I thought I could do what Jane herself did because if you look at the picture of E2 it looks as though she added a narrow background border in addition to the sashing. oh well... no This one I will add a different final row to.
