. . . piece by piece . . .

. . . you never "find" time . . .

. . . you have to make time . . .

. . . this week i made some time . . .

. . . to work on a project i started

back in october . . .

. . . pairing these geese {for dummies}

with various size squares

of tone on tone white polka dots . . .

. . . see how that works? . . .

. . . seventeen individual pieces of fabric . . .

. . . in a seven inch finished block . . .

. . . i made fifty of those . . .

{which equals eight hundred fifty little pieces}

. . . then alternate those

with forty-nine squares of bliss prints . . .

{totaling eight hundred ninety-nine pieces.

you can only think about the numbers after it's put together ~

otherwise it would drive you crazy!}

. . . which required a lot of planning . . .

. . . it reminded me of those puzzles

where you have to slide the pieces

inside the little frame

around to get them

all in chronological order . . .

. . . yep ~ it was kind of like that . . .

. . . all together it reminds me

of a mosaic tile floor . . .

. . . only cuter . . .

. . . still to come: borders, backing,

quilting, binding, sleeves {and a name} . . .

. . . but ~ it all takes time . . .
