Going off on a tangent This is defined as: to suddenly start talking or thinking about a completely new subject; or to pursue a somewhat related or irrelevant course while neglecting the main subject.
You were going along just fine—doing what you thought was the right thing at the time. You sit down to cut out a few pieces for a block and then it happens!!!
Squirrel!!
And your attention went the opposite direction! The top of my cutting board is crammed with fabrics from various projects—just cut; don’t put away, lay them on top of each—let’s clear up the table…
Now, it's time to do that chore,
cleared out the fabrics and found
embroidery hoop that I've been looking for!! and some squares that I cut many moons ago.
Found this bin! Filled with blues and whites from 2019 or is it 2018–opened it to find twelve, yes-- count them 12 finished blocks!
I'm investigating how to set these blocks--what a relief to get another thing off my table!
I discovered a bag full of half square triangles--these are portions cut from other squares.
When you sew those squares to make flying geese--I cut those 'dog ears" off and save them--
hate to throw away fabric, no matter how small.
I just need to square them up with my special ruler. Some of the squares end up 2"
but anything smaller, I decided to discard.
Since I had so many 2' half square triangles, I will now make last row of Tuning My Heart pattern.
At first thought, nope! Not doing this row—look how many small half squares needed—nope! Forget it—don’t need that last row.
When I found that bag of “dog ears”, my thinking changed—these are perfect 2” square, great for this row of baskets! Then! My thinking went—don’t need those baskets and another row added to the quilt—that means—a finished top!!
Hurrah!!
Maybe! I need more squirrel moments in my life!
