A Senior Moment

Hello Everyone,
 
I'm back to making components and blocks for the next quilt.   So here is this beautiful block and I made four of them all the same......NOT.
 

Was I brain dead when I put this one together?  I actually sewed this one in the row before I saw the mistake(s).  I must have had real senior moment on this block.


I have six of these little cuties.

 
Then I started making components for the next four blocks.  Each block contains the following components.

 
When sewn together, it looks like this.
 


Once I get this quilt together, I think I will let you, name this quilt.  That means there will be a contest for the Patchwork Math book very soon.  This quilt is going to be featured on The Quilt Show.com during one of my segments, so the name has to be a good one!  Put your thinking caps on and think Americana.  It will be much easier for you once I get it finished.

I'm sad to say that baseball is winding down for our grandson, Jess.  We love watching him play, and we love watching our son coach the team.  Nothing is more fun than watching little 6-year-olds make a great play, and then grin from ear to ear. The little guys and girl are actually catching fly balls, and hitting a pitched ball out of the park.  No more T-Ball, these little kids are amazing. Heartwarming. Truly small town USA.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend making memories.

Soon,
Lynn

  2. I think that quilters may have invented 'senior moments' - it's funny how we see what we want to see. Or not.

  4. Welcome! So glad you could join us here at the Home for Challenged Quilters! If it weren't for all the ripping I do, I'm certain I'd have twice as many quilts!
    I'll be mulling over names for the quilt while I'm picking out my next seam!
