Ta-da! 20 Pine Burr Blocks! I am finished with those!!! Whew! I think I was getting sloppy at the end because the last one turned out like a tent and I had to redo it... I don't think you can guess now which one is the sloppy one and I'm not telling! That was A LOT of hand sewing!!
And of course I've been plugging away on the lattice strips. I'm still making triangle strips but to alleviate some of the boredom, eh-hem, concentrated routine work, I've been putting the strips together into lattice pieces. At date I have 20 lattice pieces and I think I need 49 (or maybe it is 48... every time I count I come up with a different number.) And I still have about 20 triangle strips (two strips per piece) by my sewing machine so I may have passed my half-way mark!
Now that my hand sewing is finished on the Pine Burr blocks I will move on to hand piecing the lattice corners. Two done... By my calculations I need 30. Sigh.
There are still a lot of sewing days ahead of me but I'm making progress!
Thank you for inviting me! Will you have 2 blogs now? We have heard from the Japanese exchange student that we hosted last year. He wants to come for a visit. I think he liked American life..I KNOW he liked Poptarts! (oh my goodness! just dont tell his mother I fed him Poptarts! lol! He found them in the pantry. My son rarely eats them, but occasionally he will have one for breakfast. Shimpei took them everyday in his lunch box!) SIGH...Love your Pine Burr blocks. You have more patience than I do...:)
