…in that I really shouldn’t try to sew when I’m this overtired.
After another evening set of conference calls last night, I’m once again giving myself the morning as I have…yep…more calls this evening. So after breakfast and a lingering time with my coffee, I felt like I was up to sewing together the blocks from yesterday.
Somehow I managed to press seams in the wrong direction three different times.
And then I realized in my attempt to “randomize” the directional print cornerstone block, I’d flipped one set and had two cornerstones facing the same direction, so only 3 compass points, so to speak, were represented. I debated leaving it (reminding myself “baby quilt, baby quilt, baby quilt”) but then decided that was the sort of thing that would forever-after drive me nuts and could quite possibly have the same effect on the poor baby’s parents. Seam ripper put into use, re-sew, press seams again.
The blocks are done, but I’m stopping myself before I do more damage. I can piece the top together tomorrow…when I’ll be even more tired. Won’t that be fun?
In other news…
Who wants to make a swap for a barely used 2 1/2” square AccuQuilt Go die? Yep, I realized after I’d already opened and used my new one once that there was one in the GoCube 8” pack. So, because it’s opened and used, I can’t return it. I’ll swap it for a die of equal value with anyone! Email me if you’re interested.
I also realized I already had a 5” die before opening the additional 5” die I’d bought, so that one I can return. Debating which die I want to put it towards. At least those two dies are different—the one that comes with the GoCube is a single die, whereas the one I bought does two squares at once. I debated keeping it as it would be a lot faster to cut scraps, but I have the feeling I’d rather have more different dies now. Still debating that one because, honestly, returning dies to AccuQuilt is kind of a pain (especially in these pandemic days when making a post office trip is like preparing for a lunar moon landing), and there’s a restocking fee. Now I’m talking myself back in to just keeping it.
I need more coffee.
