The Pinsetter
I know what you’re thinking: what does the bowling term “pinsetter” have to do with this quilting block? I did actually sew part of it while waiting for my bowling […]
The Repeater
Now that I’ve used all the fabrics at least once, it’s time to repeat a fabric for the first time. And what better fabric to repeat than this one, which […]
The Anticlimax
Totally by accident, I didn’t repeat any fabrics for the first twenty-five blocks or so of this project (well, except for the red that’s used in every block, obviously). At […]
