Later today for what I have done.




It is much later today and I still have not gotten a thing done to the clip board.  I have spent most of the day in the living room watching Smallville with my daughter.  Now it was not a total waste.  I did get a square done.  And I got all of the supplies that I need for tomorrow sorted out for me to paint then pack.  Guess I am going to be up really late tonight. 
One of the things that I wanted to show you was the square that I did.  I took pictures of each step for making it. 


1.        As you can see from the pattern it is a design made in 4 quadrants.  I start in the middle and stitch the lower right quadrant.








2.    Then I turn it over and sew the quadrant next to it which now makes it the top right quadrant.






3.    The last step is I then sew the whole lower half of it.




PATTERN






As you see it is a design that is made up of one design put in four times to make a square.  The center lines up and down are done once in the design and then the design is the same in all of the corners just turned around ¼ turn.  There is a term for it but I do not know what it is.  All of the designs that I have are the same size.  21 x 21.  So that makes each quadrant is 9 x9 squares counting the middle lines with two over for the frame.  I have about 20 different patterns and I am making more so no two blocks will be the same.  Looking at the pattern you will see that I made a mistake in one of the quadrants.  By the time I noticed it, it was to late.  I did some of these on the computer with a program that I do not have any more cause the computer I used has died.  And a couple of them I got off the internet, but when I try to find any thing like them, I can not.  So if any one knows any of these and the web site let me know.
