Oops, Did I Do That?

 Things were going great - I was making wonderful progress - only two more strips to add in the middle and then WHAM - I hit a wall - a quilting wall.  AKA- the additional fabric is a different shade of purple.  Bleh.  So, this is on hold until I can find the same shade of purple to finish it. 

Here's my SBS Block #11 - Beacon Light:
This is an improv block - you randomly sew scraps together to form the material.  This was a bit of a mind-bender for me, because I like neat and precise measurements.  The block is growing on me though.
Meanwhile, I made another oopsy on my 100 Quilts for Kids quilt.  My calculations were off, so now I'm having to cut down all of my triangles.  It's tedious and I also have to come up with another design so that I can salvage what I already have.  Grr.  I think I need to take a mental step back and regroup.  Hopefully, I'll get this all figured out in the next day or so.

  1. I'm sorry you ran out of fabric. That stinks. But it's looking good anyway! I love your beacon light. I still haven't done mine. My scrappy fabric is made and cut but I ran out of white. I was using hte same white for my red and white hexie and for some dumb reason I forgot and cut it all up in strips for hexies. Duh!
