DS I hadn't thought of posting any blocks, but now YOU have motivated me to do just that. I have quilt class tonight, so perhaps tomorrow I'll do some "show and tell". My teacher is so wonderful. She has the patience of Job.
It's fun to talk quilts. It's the *perfect* activity for me. Can't be distracted at all, have to be completely focused.
Am headed to Home Depot or Lowes to get a board that I can cover with flannel and mount on the wall in my sewing room so I can put the blocks up and arrange them as I'm working on piecing. It is interesting how "visual" I truly am! Even though I talk a lot, I have to see what the project and gauge what I'm doing. I hate reverse sewing (also known as ripping).
DS, did you buy any fabrics when you were living in Dubai? Thinking about cotton & silk... kicking myself that I didn't bring back fabric from Tibet or China or Mongolia. In Lhasa I was in a fabric "store" for more than an hour and walked out empty handed. China had so much silk that I got overwhelmed. Went for cashmere in Ulan Bator (UB) and didn't pay any mind to the fabrics... oh well.
