I've begun a project with all my fun colors. Though these mocked mitered squares will make an afghan at some point. I'm trying to decide how to arrange them. Here's one possibility. with the same color on the coutside Or the common color in the insideOr stripes vertical or horizontal, sorry must have moved as this first picture is blurry. Common color right left right etc.Or the common color going the same direction?Not sure what I think, but am interested in your thoughts and preferences. One idea is to do one of grouping of 4 and then have 2 large triangles on either side (doubling the size).
Might not be able to decide until more squares are completed. Then there's the pinwheel design idea.
A fascinating book!Another WWII book, but focused on a woman! Ladies do yourselves a favor and read this book. This is a true story. Women can be awesome when given a chance. I won't do a review, don't want to give anything away.
Cutting these post a bit short, as I know everyone is rushing with last minute things to get done for the holiday season
I think my comment was deleted. My first attempt was that your blocks remind me of naval flags (that are really words). Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteMy husband said the same thing Anni. The one with the common color going the same direction, I think. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteOooh. These are lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't it wonderful that more and more books about inspirational women are emerging?
I hope your holiday season is wonderful.
Yes it really wonderful that we're finally being able to read about remarkable women. Thanks for the visit.
DeleteYou're very creative!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, Sandy.
Many thanks Robyn, and Happy Holidays to you.
DeleteI wish I could offer some amazing insight on your project but this is way above my pay grade. Best of luck. I look forward to seeing your final product. I will pass along the book recommendation to my wife as she enjoys that genre. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Sandy. Take care.

Thanks for the visit, will add you to my blog log. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well.
DeleteAs you say, so many possibilities, I'm sure it will look fabulous whatever you decide. I enjoy reading books about WWII so I shall have a look for this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit Jo, let me know what you think after you read the book.
DeleteDecisions, Decisions :) Look forward to seeing what kind of pattern you eventually come up with.
ReplyDeleteI think I've eliminated the design that's flips left and right with the common color; but beyond that, still not sure. I'm moving ahead with making the squares and will keep laying them out to see what I think.
DeleteLook like fun colors.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Please pour me a cup, I could use an extra cup this morning Dora.
DeleteHello, Thank you for the book recommendation. I do enjoy WW2 history.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely holiday!!!
Carla
You as well Carla.
DeleteLove those blocks. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm leaning towards one of block ideas thus far. Will continue to make the squares and see what I think as I have more to look at.
DeleteMy wife is a quilter and it's always great fun watching her put pieces of fabric together to come up with a new design - not a talent I have!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool David, this afghan will look like a quilt, I believe once it's done. Will be awhile though, knitting is time consuming. Thanks for the visit.
