365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Patience Corner Assembly
Day 346: Assembly of the new quilt is going MUCH faster than expected and in part I will attribute that to using a rotary cutter instead of scissors. The tool allowed much greater accuracy in the cuts and therefore running up seams can be done without a lot of fuss. The design is a simple one as well. Each block can be broken into four smaller blocks consisting of one rectangle and two squares, and with a little planning, these can be sewn together with only one critical meet per pair. The final seam of each block also has only one meet. This morning, I laid the blocks out on the floor to see how I wanted to rotate them (lower left), then stacked them carefully for "batch processing." At the machine, I completed three seven-block strips and joined them in the space of just a few hours, and then decided to call it quits for the day. "Patience Corner" certainly doesn't require a lot of patience to piece!
