This year for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge I've made 5 inch Monkey Wrench blocks.
I'm setting them on point and started sewing them together a few weeks ago.
I wanted to sew rows with 1-23 blocks. I started at both ends and am now up two rows of 17 blocks.
Getting ready for a row of 19 blocks I glanced at my box of remaining blocks and it didn't appear I had enough for two rows of 19, two rows of 21 and two rows of 23. No, I didn't. I figured I needed 288 blocks and have been counting as I've made them. At year end I THOUGHT I had 273 so made 15 more blocks before I started sewing the diagonal rows. Either I figured incorrectly, I don't know how to count, I counted blocks twice a few times or I've lost some.
So, don't count on this one being finished this year.
Beautiful! So many pretty blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrappy blocks! I look forward to seeing them all together in a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteHaha -- laughing about all your not-enough-blocks possibilities! I think I've done all those things a time or two myself :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT quilt!
Gorgeous colors! It's going to be a fun quilt when you are all done.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh I feel for you
ReplyDeletePerhaps there is a mis count among the rows?
I suggest you stop row sewing now and do a count then a recount
Best of luck

I think there's some hiding!
ReplyDeleteI know all about missing blocks. But my cat was busy here, so I would check in with Mystic Quilter and find out if she can account for all of her cats.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tiny Monkey Wrench blocks - this is going to a lovely scrappy quilt.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun and colourful quilt in the making. I am pretty sure that the blocks will magically appear after you have made the replacements!
ReplyDeleteThat pickle dish is beyond fabulous... I can't even count to 288.. Hugs Ger
