The quilt I am currently working on is very simple. It is scrappy and is comprised of large rectangles – 6-1/2 X 9-1/2. Yesterday I got the last of the rectangles all cut and today I started sewing them together in rows.
Easy, easy, easy. However, when I went to sew the rows to each other, things were not matching up. How could this be? I measured my pieces and discovered that quite a few measured 6 inches across instead of 6-1/2. What to do? My solution? I made a design change and the middle row will now consist of rectangles with a strip down the middle.
Hmmm. I kinda like these. Should I go back and change all the others? Oh dear, it was supposed to be such a simple quilt. I think I will stick with one row of these split rectangles and just leave it a simple scrappy quilt.

Yesterday I pulled out an old, old stitchery. It is a big piece and this is just a little portion of it. I put it away because I didn’t care for the colors, but now I’m liking the colors – soft blues and beiges.
Maybe it will eventually get finished. I love it when that happens!
