Oh lord....

Guess i'll make plans for more red, I was planning on doing a watermelon log cabin for my 6 yr old...

I couldn't figure out on the last piece if it was woven crooked or if I just lacked ironing skill that badly (quite possiable).

It was cut really crooked. Lined up the selvedge edge up and down until I got a fold that was even all the way down. I think I trimmed a good 3 1/2 wonky inches off each end. But that's good! I'm using some of it for the combs of my chickens blocks!!

Good, I loved the red on reds in it, but I couldn't get it to behave.

I've been having the boys help by picking the next strip (been doing some scrappy charity quilts) One is cools (green/blues/purples) one is all blues, the other is all the funky novelty stuff left from making my sis clothes.
