Originally, I was planning to do something kinda like this Cynthia Muir original (but with just plain blocks of color). I had all the blue and green squares made when it occurred to me that I actually didn't have enough of the white I was using to do what I had in mind (I was just using some random white from my stash...and we all know how fun (not) it is to try to match a random white).
Anyway...so I just shimmied on down to the fabric store and bought some yellow to add in to the mix. I sewed a whole bunch of yellow squares to go with the others and set them in a pile. A few days later, I went to lay them all out to see what kind of pattern I'd like and went, "Oh-oh!" I had made all the yellow squares 1/2 inch smaller than the other squares. So...I wracked my brains for about 5 minutes, tried unsuccessfully to call my sister for advise, and then hit upon this BRILLIANT (if I do say so myself) salvage job. If you didn't know better, you might think I'd actually planned it this way! Yay!
Hope you're all enjoying the Bloggers Quilt Festival!
One picture, on the floor, in bad lighting? Have I taught you nothing? This little cutie at least deserves a few close-ups! :) oh, what's that you say? It's been raining in Utah? Alright, we'll let it slide this time! :) super cute Aiya! I zoomed in and saw the cute mini dots you used on the blue and green blocks...love it! and the yellow in between...brilliant! I never would have come up with that...good thing you didn't reach me. :) and I'm so glad to see another post from you! hooray!
