I sat down and figured out what I had ready to piece, and what I needed to cut to be able to finish 8 blocks. The pieces at the bottom left, are three blocks that would be completed.
Instead of counting all the pieces I had and then figured out how many pieces I needed, I decided to do something different. I listed what I needed and the five blocks that I have yet to finish. I figured out what I had and what I needed, then added up the amount - giving me the total of what fabric I needed. It seemed a lot quicker than doing it the other way, and my brain worked a lot faster that way! lol
I was a little worried about not having enough of this fabric. I was thrilled to find out worked out great, and I have a little left over for "just in case." Now the fun part is not to cut it wrong and have to use that "just in case" fabric. There isn't a lot left over, so I need to be very careful from here on out. **sigh**
I was able to get the 17 pieces cut out of the strip I cut from the purple. I have enough of the purple to use it for the borders. I also have enough of the green and "gold" to use on the border as well.
Today, I got a lot done! I did laundry, worked on the blocks, and actually sat and read part of my book! I have been getting free books off "Bookbub." It's awesome. Hard to believe I gave up the computer to read! lol - I do run in streaks. I tend to play on the computer more, but today, I didn't. Now I'm more interested in reading then playing. That must be a good thing! (At least I can hope!)
I did get a notice that I'm on Jury Duty starting in July. UGH. I really don't mind too much, but it's a pain when you don't know from one day to the next if you have to go in for jury duty. I'm going to try and make sure I have enough projects ready to work on for when I do get called in.
Still Happy Quilting!
