a little patchwork....

it's a little after midnight, been a long day and no baby yet....maybe c section tomorrow or home to try again later, hope not the later after all she's been through already.....more waiting and worrying, after all she's my baby....in the meantime here's the finished little patchwork quilt, all you need to do is sew blocks together and add 1&1/2" yellow borders to right side, lower edge, quilt and bind, simple as that.....
hope you enjoyed your sew a long and little patchwork quilt....mine will be given away to one of you patchworkers out there, is it you?

a little patchwork....
day four (well really it's the evening of day three but on day four i'll be at the hospital with my daughter, she's being induced, so i'll be there anxiously awaiting Lucy Rose's arrival)....
four patch is made with 1&1/2" squares, add a piece 1&1/2" wide to top and bottom...next 1&1/4" wide pieces of yellow to left and right side and a 1&1/2" wide piece yellow to lower edge....now scrap a piece 1&1/2" wide and sew to right side, then 1&1/2" wide yellow to top....lastly 1&1/4" wide blue to left side....
now remember this is a primitive little quilt, so if your pieces end up in a different order, that's totally alright.....blocks all should be around 5&1/2" unfinished....
tomorrow we will put all the blocks together and it's truly a fun antique inspired little quilt....
till friday, enjoy....

day three is so simple, cut eight light, four blue and four yellow 2 squares....make four 4 patches and sew together as shown, now this is the part that maybe difficult for some not as primitive a sewer as me, but you cut the block down to 5 & 1/2"  unevenly "a little of this side, a little more off that side" and you're done, see you tomorrow for the last block.....
enjoy
