When I make a quilt block I usually outline it on graph
paper first. Then I take colored pencils and flesh it out. I cut all the fabric
pieces, usually using Marti Michell Perfect Patchwork Templates and a rotary
cutter. Then I arrange all the pieces on a board beside the sewing machine. I
step back and take a good look before beginning to sew, to make sure I haven’t
missed something important. This is usually the point where the cat decides to “help.” I don’t see what should be so enjoyable about lolling on
the tiny cloth triangles and squares, but she clearly enjoys it. I shoo her off and
rearrange the displaced pieces. Usually everything turns out fine, but now and
then… Maybe you noticed what was wrong with last Friday’s block. I
didn’t until well after it was posted. So here’s the block again, the way it was
meant to look.
