Last autumn I made 17 blocks using the Benartex Bittersweet
line by Nancy Halvorsen. Twelve blocks came from the 2011 Patchwork Party using
Marti Michell’s L template set. The 5 extra blocks were also made with these templates,
using scraps from the first 12. (You can see all of them by scrolling back
through this blog to mid-October.) The 12 shops involved with last year’s
Patchwork Party each offered a different setting for the finished blocks. I
liked them, but the kits were a bit out of my price range. And with an overseas
move coming up, I was reluctant to order. Without a definite plan for these
lovely blocks, I’ve been waiting for inspiration to strike. Sunday I was
rummaging through the scraps and a solution hit me. I only need a yard of the
background fabric to make 18 Snail’s Trails to alternate with the blocks I have.
Yesterday I found the background fabric on sale at half price. I wish all my
problems were this easy to solve.
