I copied a pattern called Tennessee from Quilter's Cache that looks a lot like it but with scrappy background. <br /><br />No design wall here either. If I care about layout I have to lay on floor and then I gather them up in rows and number them. It's trickier when rows are on point and small as I've found out when I made Little Monkeys. <br /><br />How do you sew them together without the raindroppy fabric for the side triangles?

I love the sample blue quilt you linked to.

I spend a lot more time thinking than actually sewing.<br /><br />I pick up my blocks left to right, pin a paper on the top one to the left labeled "left" and the row number. So far it has worked.<br /><br />If I'm going to put it away for a long time I add to the label the total number of rows, like "1 of 6"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104148299938856670.post-51150452038745380342015-11-21T21:18:49.738-05:002015-11-21T21:18:49.738-05:00I'm looking forward to seeing what you found o...I'm looking forward to seeing what you found on your shopping trip!!The Joyful Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706614750500929214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104148299938856670.post-38368980207767750092015-11-21T18:55:42.522-05:002015-11-21T18:55:42.522-05:00I too take a picture....

Also... something about two cats who think blocks laying on the floor are there for them to play with and scatter about. Good luck - I need to deep clean before Thursday as well (my MIL gets hives when in my messy house, can't have that so must pick up and deep clean). It makes decorating for xmas on Friday much easier as well.Deb Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206921657695916898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104148299938856670.post-47960937054700811022015-11-21T17:05:08.998-05:002015-11-21T17:05:08.998-05:00So many blocks so little fabric lol.
