Somehow, I misplaced my rotary cutter about a week ago. I was sure it would turn up as I sorted through my things. I didn't feel like sorting, so I used scissors to cut my LONG strips (I used a jelly roll and supplemented with a batik) into blocks. I know what you experience quilters are thinking... now THAT was a mistake.
I have forgiven myself; I was simply anxious to make some progress with my quilt top. At least that's my excuse.
To make a long story short, I bought a new rotary cutter and did a LOT of squaring of my blocks before sewing them together.
Now that everything is squared away, the strips are going together nicely. Perhaps I'll have the top finished in a couple of days.
I'm linking to TN&TN's WIP Wednesday. If you are Canadian and have a fibre art blog, please consider joining! I am always inspired by what others are doing; the link-up allows me to quickly see a variety of projects. Thank you to everyone who posts!
