I didn’t have much planned for the day and, in my mind, I even thought i would finished off the border on my pinwheel quilt.

I made an Alias Grace block this morning. It was one that I had to design on my own based on the picture in the book. It worked out well and the three blocks I have finished are now up on the design wall (the door across the hall from my sewing room). There were a lot of half-square triangles involved in the block and I sewed some pinwheels together as a leader and ender project.

After lunch I moved on to the November block for the Guild. It too involved some half-square triangles and I was almost finished the stitching using the magic eight method when I realized I had the right side of one fabric against the wrong side of the other fabric. I have reverse stitched that and got it right this time. The last seams of the pinwheels were my leaders and enders and they are done now.

I’ll go back to working on the November block but if I make one more mistake I’m going to quit for the day.
