How large are these blocks compared to the applique circles with the red/white center strips, Audrey? (I'm often wondering size when I see your blocks and quilts.) I like your color choices on the design wall and can't wait to see the other 21 blocks.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-88076103379305805642013-09-24T12:07:08.679-07:002013-09-24T12:07:08.679-07:00The look of the quilt is quite intriguing, I like ...The look of the quilt is quite intriguing, I like it. Good for you, finishing up a previous project - good for you. My mother, who was the cleanest housekeeper ever, used to just drop her threads on the floor when she was at her sewing machine. Then she would vacuum up everything when she was done. She didn't have a sewing room and had to clean up every time she stopped sewing. Maybe there were errant threads that got on the floor and since she had to vacuum them up anyway. . .Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-68800774283331116842013-09-24T08:49:31.110-07:002013-09-24T08:49:31.110-07:00As tedious as trimming is, it can make a big diffe...As tedious as trimming is, it can make a big difference!

I think you should try to work those trimmings into a smaller piece and hang it in your space as a reminder of all the fun you had.
