My quilt retreat with the BH class is this weekend. I signed up mostly to see what a quilt retreat is like, never went to one, to have an outing with my sister, to meet other quilters, to see what BH is like in person, etc. I don't feel I need instruction on how to sew, but hopefully she will provide some tips that I haven't thought about during my decades of sewing... :-)
I could use a tip on paying attention!! lol My goal was to have the star blocks finished, and the strips cut for the alternate blocks to bring to class. I was so pleased with myself yesterday-- I opened her book to see how many triangles to cut for the hourglass in the center of the alternate block. I thought maybe I'd get ahead of my goal and sew those too. It was then that I noticed the strips for the logs were supposed to be 1 1/2". I've cut a ton of strips at 2"!! More than enough for half of a double size quilt. Fiddlesticks!! There goes my goal right down the toilet...
