Wow, what a week! I broke half my craft table last Monday night, unfortunately before I'd cut the corduroy squares (but thankfully after I'd managed to get the yardage ironed!) So yeah, it wasn't looking like the easiest week ever, piecing all the strips together on one half my regular work space...
So, I only managed to get 7 strips pieced together so far, but here they are!
It's a little tricky keeping the nap of the corduroy going only in one direction, but the print is a little easier to manage, I'm trying to keep the pattern intact. So, instead of just turning the strips around when I piece them together, I'm assembling them differently.
Half get the regular treatment of rectangle then square (5 times for each strip,) and the other half start of with a square patch, and then I add the rectangle. I tried to be clever in my construction because I'm so obsessive about details on the back end of finished items (that is to say later, when I'm using them/looking at them!)
Big thanks go to DH, who fixed my craft table for me last night! Yeay! Here's links to my first post about my quilt, and the inspiration - Randi's Quiltalong.
Ooh, it's coming along nicely! It's so nice to see your lovely fabric design in use :)
