Regarding block 22

Dear Yvette,

Please ignore the pattern I drew up for block 22. That is, if you would like to avoid four of the dreaded Y-seam occurrences.

What was I thinking?!?
















I got through it, and done is good enough..... but it's a tad wonky and there is a much better way to construct it....

namely, the way the author intended. Imagine that.

Signed,

Chagrinned, Bemused and Relieved (a.k.a. Me, Myself and I)

The Margo Bag, and more

Some pictures from the Margo bag I conquered! I had a ball figuring this one out, and now I can't wait to make another one. But, since it zips, I may try making a... gasp... single shoulder strap, and maybe on my third one, I'll add an inch or two to the overall size?







































































































































































This one didn't look like a purse until the very end!





















Also, some most of my pictures are sideways. Blogger hates me tonight. Oh well!


The weekend also included one of the Barbara Brachman Civil War blocks - I'm slowly catching up!






















This mess actually became a block...


























This is likely what I get for not having posted in over two months. Blogger has completely changed and I have no idea what works now. I shall post this, see what I get, and go to bed! G'nite!



P.S. I sure enjoyed seeing everyone at Orange Quilt Bee today! Must. Do. Again!
