Terriamn - - this share is for you - may it lift a smile to your face. It isn't easy to deal with the issues of our parents.
I have had a bag of scraps of 30ish style fabrics. Finally decided to do something with them. I designed and measured to do a square in a square block with a four patch block. Easy Peasy. Unless you are recovering from a concussion. I first cut out twice the amount of triangles for the square in the square blocks. Then When I had my completed blocks and went to square them up (right like you really think that if I put four perfectly square blocks together that I would get a perfect square!!)- the four patch were 6.5" and the others where 7.5".......
So I put a strip on two sides of each four patch to make a 7.5" square.
Oh and I also realized that my darling 1/4" foot is more than a 1/4"
So here is my easy peasy concussion style scrappy block mess! Laugh right along with me!
