keep organised!!!!!-for a DP9patch-i made a prototype set to work from as lots of squares had embroideries they need to be orientated correctly--i still have ducks swimming in the sky?????--some days my sewing brain will not wake up with my body so i do something else
|
Somedays nothing works so hopefully tomorrow will be better.
|
If there are 110 9 patches I am betting they are itty bitty, correct?? I am on my 253rd 4 patch on point and going bonkers. I'm saving the 9 patches for last as I figured they would be easier. This is a quilt of shear endurance!!!
|
The 9-patches are only 3 color, green, tan, cream. But that is where the problem is...I think....LOL. the cream and the tan are pretty close in shades when not under the light and I am guessing the that I just mix them up. I have 6 to fix this morning to finish up what I need for the blocks (18 blocks-4 per block), the remainder are for the setting triangles and those are gonna wait till I need them!

I am having a heck of a time getting some HSTs sewn in the right direction. tonight will be the 3rd time I have sewn them. I am going to sew the other strips together, rip these apart and re-sew one at a time. I'm also having a problem trying to match a slanted seam with straight seam to make a wonky star. I will not be making this pattern again.
May help if you make stacks of the different colors. I hope your day is better tomorrow. |
Yipee! It's NOT just me--other people have crazy sewing days, too. Thanks for letting me know! I feel better already. Better luck tomorrow.
|
Hang in there! A fresh pair of eyes after a rest will hopefully help you see where you are. Organization is surely a help.

I was sewing strips together in a certain order and thought I did a great job of keeping things straight till I started ironing them all. I must of had to rip 8 apart and I hate taking things apart! Take a break from it and I also agree with Debrahlee suggestions .

I spent the better part of yesterday chatting it up with "Jack the Ripper" and it was not a friendly conversation. I did battle all day with 8 sections of a PP block, and I am NOT a newcomer to paper piecing either, but it just wasn't coming together right. The sections are done and two are not matching well, but, oh well, I am not ripping and re-sewing again. So, today, I will sew the four main blocks together and let the clippings fall where they may. Life is too short.
