I’m quilting today. The pattern I’m using is an easy one and one that I’ve used many times. I don’t even have to mark the top as the seam lines pretty much tell me where I need to point my needle. The pattern is from corner to middle, from middle to corner around the block in eight lines until I am back in the starting corner. Sounds easy enough.

It was going well until at one point I lost my focus and had to take out a line of stitching. No problem. Then I sewed again and still didn’t get it right. I know what the issue is. Each of the blocks is made up of four smaller blocks and each of those smaller blocks is positioned differently so corner to middle in one block isn’t necessarily the same in the next three.

After reverse stitching a couple of times I started putting a flower-head pin in the middles and the corners. The heads of the pins for the middles face a different direction than the head of the pins in the corners. So far, so good.

But now that I have a method I think I’ll stop for the day and move on to something else. At the Guild virtual meeting last night I said I was going to take the photos from the Facebook page and put them into our blog. Why I said that I have no idea except they wanted a report and I had nothing. It’s been an easy task to get the pictures off Facebook but it will be another matter entirely getting them onto the blog.
