The week has flown by and we're all one week closer to spring....and that's a very good thing! I stare at a sea of white as we're still snow covered here in Chicagoland. Typical for February, but my seasonal radar is longing for the change to spring. It won't be long now!
By now, you have all of your Cat's Cradle blocks complete, so our next step is to make the Firefly units.
Follow along in the pattern directions to piece a Half Square Triangle to a square.Sew (2) units together to make the block.
With the units for the Old Maid's Puzzle block complete, we can begin assembly of the Old Maid block.
Sew a Cat's Cradle block and a Firefly block together.
Sew (2) units together to make the Old Maid's Puzzle block. Make a total of (6) blocks.
You're all done for this week.....unless....you want to sew ahead to have your quilt top done before Valentine's Day on Monday. Your choice. I leave my Valentine decor up though the month of February, and I like working on future V-Day projects all month, too, so I don't mind if everything isn't complete by the 14th. Enjoy the process and the project!
