. . . labels 2.0 . . .

. . . rummaging through 

those piles . . .

. . . i discovered this . . .

. . . one of several extra blocks 

leftover from back in

februaryish/aprilish . . .

. . . i vaguely remembered 

my plan to use these 

on the back of the quilt . . .

. . . i always like to use up 

extra blocks and scraps . . .

. . . so i started trying to figure out 

how to put them together . . .

. . . then i got sidetracked, 

remembered a reader's comment, 

and made a label, too . . . 

. . . the size of the label was based on 

a scrap of inkjet printer fabric 

i wanted to use . . .

. . . after printing it, 

i took it into the sewing room 

to cut it out, wet, and press it . . . 

{be sure to follow directions on the package ~ 

and be warned that those labels don't stand up well to repeated washings. 

i put them on the baptism quilts i made for my granddaughters 

and the printing has all but disappeared. darn!}

. . . anyway . . .

. . . i discovered i'd made the label 

the exact size of the center square 

in this block . . .

. . . and because 

i'm a special kind of crazy 

sometimes . . . 

. . . this block now looks like . . .

. . . this . . .

{another terrible nighttime photo}

. . . a little un-sewing and re-sewing

 never hurt anyone . . .

{a note about inkjet printer fabric: it comes in two colors - 

"cream" and "white".

 well . . . the "cream" is kind of a pinkish beige 

and the "white" is kind of ivory. 

my ocd-ness was kind of bugged by the fact that 

neither color usually matches my quilts perfectly. 

i had to get over it.}
