I bet things are looking great.<br /><br />The tip with the seam ripper is genius. It also scares me a little. Not that I have ever fallen over on my sewing table (though I wouldn't say it is impossible) it would be wicked with that thing sticking up! Probably makes for swift work when chain piecing though. :-)Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-24171598845710175092017-01-21T16:57:28.506-05:002017-01-21T16:57:28.506-05:00Yes - if I don't get to sew or cut something u...Yes - if I don't get to sew or cut something up the stress level totally rises - glad you got some stitching in!!!

Yes, I am stressed and sad and unhappy today. And you know why. <br />Speaking of purple -it is a difficult color, in my opinion. Not sure whether to group it with warm colors (red tones) or cool colors (blue tones). If these are your rejects, I need to see your prints of choice. The little purple and green squares in your pattern will surely become something lovely. For now, I am so impressed by their neatness and uniformity.<br />Hugs,<br />Preeti.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-80978013639960952712017-01-20T11:07:25.384-05:002017-01-20T11:07:25.384-05:00Glad you went with the greens for the background c...Glad you went with the greens for the background colors -- much more garden-isn than white.Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-80356410107955445432017-01-20T09:55:47.261-05:002017-01-20T09:55:47.261-05:00I love all of your blocks.
