Of postage and cake

With a new month comes a new color for the RSC - darker blues this time around.

I got right to work on my postage stamp block.

All the while, that imaginary cake stand block was sitting nearby.

"You know," I said to myself, "if I were a smart woman, I would tuck all those little pieces into a little plastic bag and have a kit ready to go next year when I actually start making blocks for this RSC2021 project."

But then...

"But hey, it wouldn't do any harm to just sew those little HSTs together before I do that." 

And despite the fact that I was diligently sewing together little squares for the Projects I'm Actually Working On, I decided that I might as well sew that bigger HST together too, while I was at it.  You know, before putting all those parts away.

And then maybe just sew those little pairs of triangles together so I wouldn't get them confused later when I would take the kit out of its bag and do the real assembly.  You know, next year.

At this point things get a little hazy.  I'm almost certain that cobbler's elves were involved, because the next time I looked I saw this:

I started muttering to myself.  "Squares.  Sewing squares.  Just squares."

And it seems to have worked because I finally had this together.

Though that doesn't explain this:

But maybe it's just as well that I made this second sample block, because I can't find the first one I made.  I know I joked about hiding it from myself, just for my own protection, but apparently I did just that.  

Or maybe those cobbler's elves took it...
