So, I felt like I got a lot done.
Then I seam ripped out the border I had started, made up a new idea for it, sewed about a fourth of what I needed for the border, laid the blocks/border out on the floor (which is my 'design wall'), and didn't like the new border design. So back to square one, or block one, so to speak! lol for the border. But I've come up with another idea, and I'm not giving up on this project! Forge ahead! Rah, rah!
In the meantime--I sewed together the 16 border blocks I didn't like to make four 12" blocks-- so a new WIP there. * roll my eyes*
I shared this picture in the Birthday Candy swap thread, but maybe someone here didn't see what I'm doing with my candies from the swap. Here's four 12" blocks sewn together. I made nine of these. I've sewed them into three columns of three because I'm thinking I'll QAYG that way.
