I'm apparently working on building patience. Or maybe I've lost my mind.
Tonight's southern sewing was from Pat Sloan's Aurifil Designer of The Month. The February designer of the month is Keri Carr, called "Lake Life.
Absolutely gorgeous block! I knew this was dealing with lots of little HST's, and I cogitated on it for quite a while. Tonight I dug out some delightful blues, a lovely Kona white, and went for it.
The process ... first, starch and press fabrics. Starch is one of my most favourite tools!
Sew them together, press carefully. Ta Da! One beautiful square! The portion with the HST's is 9 1/2", with the corner triangles, it finishes at 12 1/2".
