here, the front set of rods is swiveled over so you can get to the back set.
How clever. I have an antique 3 arm towel rack very similar to this design. Lucky gal to have a talented DH.

Those of us on the East Coast are preparing for a record-breaking blizzard. I'm going to get maybe 24" of snow, Lynnie 36". Yikes!! Everyone stay safe and warm!

Dot: Don't really want to make you feel bad, but at 4:30 I am sitting here with all the window in the house open. It has to be somewhere in the 60's. We frequently have a warm spell in January, it will probably be cold for here (30's & 40's) but enjoying it while I can. Maybe you'll have a snow day and can quilt all day tomorrow.

If you two are getting snow, that must means I should be getting some also.. That means the Long Island RailRoad will stop running. I wonder if I will see the mystery train on our tracks.. If I do, and if anyone is aboard, wave. I will be the one with the little white dog with the boots on, and a green jacket. We live near the Woodmere station. If you stop, I will be glad
to cook you up some food..

After adding on the triangles around the 4 patch, my square is equaling 9". Anyone else have this problem? Am I suppose to trim down to 8 1/2"?

Several of us. I am not trimming mine. I don't want to take the chance of losing my points.

Stay safe and warm. They are forecasting winds with the snow that will make it extremely dangerous.
