| my mission for today |
We quilters are known for making beautiful quilts made up of many pieces. Have you ever counted those pieces? Well today as I was repetitively sewing small pieces together for a 6" star block I started to wonder, how many pieces are in this block and how many do I have to make. Would these questions make a good blog post?!?! So here goes!!
I am making 42 star blocks which means:42 squares
(starting from the center out) 168 triangles
168 triangles
336 triangles
168 squares
for a total of 882 pieces for 42 stars!

I am also sewing 196 triangles into 98 hst. Which means 980 pieces in these two sections of this quilt. That doesn't include the pieces that I have already sewn. YIKES!!
And now I am thinking of starting Bonnie Hunter's mystery.....ohhhhh
I think quarantine/isolation might be getting to me!
I think it has, too--boy that is a lot of sewing and piecing...
