I wasn’t sure this block was going to work with the cream hexagon frame. I’m happy I was wrong on that score. I love the look of this one.
My POTC blocks have all been made with the Inklingo 1″ long hexagon shape collection. Sunday a new Inklingo collection for these blocks was released with 1.5″ shapes. The first thing I did was print out the shapes on various sizes of paper to use as my window templates when choosing fabrics. I was amazed at the difference that .50″ makes. All the fabrics I had picked out, thinking they’d work for blocks using that size, were prints/stripes that were just too small. So back to the stash for me to find some larger prints and stripes.
The weekend plans went out the window as both of us have come down with some sort of mild flu-like illness. Picking up the iron feels like I’m trying to lift weights, so my plans for ironing fabric and printing all the Harpsichord Quilt pieces is on hold for a few more days. Now I am ever so glad I have that box full of pieces all ready to stitch with no prep work necessary, so I can just pick out an envelope and stitch.
It was incredibly windy Friday night and Saturday so the cats were very busy. There are very few leaves left on the trees on the roof garden now. Lester resting after a busy weekend of leaf watching:




Sorry to hear you were both ill. I've got to head out today to pick up groceries and just dread the idea of picking up any germs as well and especially now with so many sick.Smudge sure did crash out! Enjoyed. Wishing you well!!
