My plan to work on my English Paper Piecing at the movie last night didn’t work out. It wasn’t because of the light problem – I had the basting done before we even left for the movie! And besides, it is difficult to do hand sewing and eat popcorn at the same time!

After the pieces were basted I decided there were a couple of ways the piece could be put together. I took them downstairs to get Pat’s opinion and we soon came up with four versions. Truth be told there were probably six versions because I’m working with hexagons. We narrowed it down to two that I liked, and I picked one that showed a pattern in the piece that I hadn’t even realized was there. Before we left for the movie this afternoon I was able to get all the pieces stitched together.

We have the option of seeing two movies tonight but we’re going to come home after the first one. We have a long day tomorrow (four movies) and we can catch the film we miss tonight on Sunday afternoon.
