Bad Math
I sat down yesterday to start working on the borders of Thien’s quilt and realized that my math was way off! I thought I needed 128 2.5″ squares and 128 2.5″ 1/2 square triangles, when really I need 168. Off I set on cutting 40 more 2.5″ squares, 40 more triangles of dark green, and 40 more triangles of mixed greens and creams (not to mention sewing the 1/2 squares together, pressing and trimming).
I think I finally have it figured out and actually started sewing all these little pieces together to make two long borders for the sides. Any bets on whether or not I will have this done by Christmas?
Also - as of today I have a Thanksgiving date! I will be taken in as a mid-west orphan in Chicago at Ashley’s parent’s house. You know what that means? Phase 10!
