I was being productive and mowing the grass and was trying to cheat by mowing the planting bed too...BAD idea...
This is what happens when the blade of a lawnmower meets up with fiber optic cable. So, internet,phone and tv were GONE.
I found a pattern for a five square block that was a lot of cutting but I changed a couple of steps and made it super quick! I think this one block took 1.5 to 2 hours including cutting /ironing/figuring out what I was doing ;o) The block size is about 18 inches so this will make a whole quilt in no time.
I am using Denyse Schmidt's Hope Valley that has been waiting for the right season and project. I was inspired by the trees changing in the yard and thought this fabric was perfect.
So maybe, hitting that line wasn't so horrible after all!

Amazing what you can accomplish without all those distractions! Running over the cable sounds exactly like something I would do. This block looks great and I love the fabric choice! Can't wait to see more!
I love it. I'm waiting to get my new Pfaff before I do any more projects lol. But this block is so on my list :)
I love that pattern! Where did you find it? And how did you make it easier and faster? you are my kind of sewer! ox
