I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything about the Winding Ways quilt I’ve been working on. That’s mostly because I’ve been procrastinating and letting other things get in the way of working on it. I have to admit that I prefer making smaller quilts; bed-sized quilts just don’t have the same appeal for me.

Today I finally finished putting all of the blocks and rows together! Yay! Now I need to cut the strips for the mitered borders, and this is where my next challenge comes in. That’s because I’ve decided that my original choice of one of the three fabrics I will use is really not<\/i> good. Do I have enough leftover fabric of one of the others that would work better? Stay tuned. \ud83d\ude09 Meanwhile, here’s what the center looks like — and it’s not really a trapezoid.

Do you see the circles?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
