I recently found these four patch blocks stored inside this book when I was looking through my books for something else. Surprise! Out of sight, out of mind, I guess. And, no, I don't normally store quilt blocks in books.
I see according to my blog I started this quilt in September 2014 and then I evidently stashed it in a safe place - the pattern book. I was going to make it to use some fall fabrics and thought it would remind me of a nice hike on a trail through autumn woods.
With step 1 done I moved on to step 2 which was to make 38 double four patches. So I made those a couple of days ago and am ready for step 3 now.
This time I left the blocks laying out where I could see them.
Moving another UFO forward...
More later!
Several of my friends have made this quilt. Haven't seen a bad one yet!
ReplyDeleteYou store blocks in books, and I store blocks in refrigerators... we are very creative!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty combination of fabrics - just right for the cooling temperatures! It is amazing the places we find to store our blocks so they will be safe.
ReplyDeleteIngenious use of a book for a block safe!
ReplyDeleteI've got that pattern somewhere, too. It's on my list, but you're not tempting me AGAIN into starting another quilt. (Well, maybe...)
Storing the blocks might have been a good idea at the time. I have resorted to using 12 x 12 scrap paper storage boxes as project boxes. I have misplaced too many pieces and have learned my lesson., lol. I like the quilt blocks too.

Neat pattern! I'm glad it resurfaced with some finished blocks, so it's ready for relaunch!
ReplyDeleteSounds like something I might do....but I forget if I've done that or not????
ReplyDeleteWhen I put something away for "safe keeping" I never see it again. Sigh.
