SusieQOH, my ‘new’ table will be the same height as the kitchen island because the cube units are nice & tall. They should fit exactly under lip of the old island too, according to my measurements. I plan to use half of the table for cutting & half for pressing. I have plenty of plywood to make a new pressing board. The only problem-my craft room is the hottest in the house. It’s on the southeast corner, unshaded, so it receives the full brunt of our hot Texas sun in the afternoons. My AC just can’t keep it as cool as the rest of the house. I think the ducts to that room have issues. But the AC unit & furnace went out (1 in 2016 the other in 2017) & I wasn’t able to afford to have all ductwork done at either time. So I’ll have to use that room in the mornings during many months.
My blocks are joined now. I lost some edges when I trimmed the blocks so the secondary pinwheels aren’t as precise I’d like them. Bummer. But overall the top looks great! I decided to use the 3 extra blocks I made as a table runner because they came out slightly larger than the first 9. I have no idea why! But their color blocks didn’t match with the original 9, just with each other. I’ll use the light blue as the backing for that piece & the navy for the quilt. I’ll piece some of the leftover HSTs on that backing because it’s not quite enough by itself.
