after sewing 2 picnic blankets for teachers, i decided it was time we had one for ourselves.
so i started making wonky log cabin blocks, but having them in straight set rows was a little overwhelming. so i thought...oh! do it like a medallion quilt, with borders between square sets!
so i quickly drafted it out, counted the blocks and set my count down to do meter.
last night i hit my "finish" number, only to discover i still need to sew 12 blocks!
to the graph paper....which would have shown me quite clearly that i needed 48, not 36!
says a lot about my draftsman skills, maybe
