The Lava Lamp
This triangle block makes me think of a lava lamp. So much so that I wanted to fussy cut to have no flower motifs in this one, since who ever heard […]
The Lessons Already Learned
Yet another block where everyone seems to construct it differently … the Dear Jane software even designed their patterns for piecing the entire block, with curved piecing around the melon shapes […]
The Self-Care
I finished the third corner block at 9:45 PM on July 31st, and still needed to complete my sashing goal for the month. Knowing I was very short on time, […]

The Hang Glider
There were so many possibilities for constructing this one! Since it wasn’t immediately obvious how to put it together, I went to all my usual sources to see how others […]
