Some tiimes you need something simple to sew...welll at least I do on occasion.
Something really easy-peasy...
Something requiring no pattern...
Something you can do in your sleep...
And this was one of those times.
And it needed to be in the colors featured in the front room...
Kona Peapod was the first up...
Sort of a bright citrus green guaranteed to brighten your day.
Perfect contrast to the stark brown leather sofa.
I went searching on Pinterest and found the Plus and Minus blocks.
They could be based on a 9-patch block
Center is white...
Corners are Peapod...
Center is striped white/Peapod.
Easy enough, right?
It was...until I started doing math and tried to figure out how to speed piece these blocks.
I stripped together three sets of:
4.5 inch x WOF of Peapod
4.5 inch x WOF of White
4.5 inch x WOF of Peapod
and then subcut into 4.5 inch rows for the outside of the block.
They were perfect...
the seams were straight...
I was so proud of myself for coming up with a shortcut.
But then I realized ALL 24 ROWS WERE SEWED INCORRECTLY!
That center white piece should be a striped Peapod/White block!
And then Dear Hubby came to the rescue and RIPPED ALL THE SEAMS FOR ME!
That, my dears, is true love!
