I was thinking about coasters, and thinking about my challenge fabric, but I decided to try something new. I made a pin cushion, a souvenir of my IC projects so far. Incidentally, it matches my new designer scissors! Yeah!
I found a monkey wrench pattern for a ten inch square and I divided the directions by two. (Fractions - my kids say this is useless knowledge but I use them everyday!). I used scraps from my "recent projects" bag and an extra long strip from the IC2. I need to make my rectangles 1/8" longer when I cut, and I need a better plan for sewing the corners (I'm bad at corners). Not bad for a first try.
I am snowed in, so I hope to have IC2 together and finish quilting something I hope to get into the New Jersey show. I haven't given up on coasters. The day is young.
Hey I like your new blog design. The turquoise/red is a good color combo. Fractions are useful and designer scissors are fun.
