SUNDAY SEWING, et al

 
I've added a few more blocks
in the past week...
[some more successful than others!]

I had to undo (ribbiting is not fun)
a few seams--as these leftover charms are
all slightly (up to as much as1/8th of an inch !)
different--which makes this challenging...
๐Ÿ‘ฟ๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ’€
to say the least!!

I decided to go with matching up
the "peaks" as they are easier
for me to see--putting the slightly
smaller blocks on the top and going
with the larger ones!! 
It is slow going as I cannot sew
fast while concentrating on matching
those tiny peaks...

*************************
Part Deux of bashing my charm
stash:
↧↧↧↧↧

Here are my two piles of the 
"sewn on both edges" blocks all
cut in half
so that 
(I will end up with two quilts)
And yet again matching those 
Pesky Peaks....
I am doing these first two steps on
all the matching dark/light charms
before sewing the half-cuts 
end-to-end and then cutting 
them into twosies for the
postage stamp style quilts...

******************************
On alternate days I have been working--
uh, actually ๐Ÿ˜…playing--
in my color glue book:
Here are mostly finished pages--
altho' I will most likely come
back to add small 
bits and bobs.
A yellow page
and
A "Gold" page

and
A "Brown" page
Strictly speaking, not all the images are
all of the one color, but do have a lot
of the chosen color on them...
[Otherwise the pages 
would be simply
(and boringly!!)
one color!!]

I hope you are all enjoying your
weekend,,,
