I was able to get 8 more polka dot blocks done this week. Looking at these, I think I need to use more green. I have about 28-29 done. The quilt calls for 50 but I think I want to make 56. I guess I better check out the Farmer’s Wife book for six extra. Maybe I will wait to get all 50 done first so I won’t accidently duplicate or closely match one of the current ones.
The middle block on the bottom was the biggest challenge. The whole block is 6 inches so the small flying geese making up the center star ends up measuring 3/4 inch by 1 1/2 inch. I am proud of myself for getting it done so well.
For more design walls go to Patchwork Times and check them all out. I always have fun on Mondays looking at all the inspiration.
