. . . row row row three . . .

. . . lori calls row three
a "zig-zaggy" or "chubby chevron" 
filler row . . . 
. . . it will eventually wind up 
between rows of larger, 
more detailed blocks . . . 
. . . even the borders of this quilt 
will be pieced . . . 
. . . i'm sure i will love 
this finished quilt . . . 
. . . each row has been so fun 
to put together . . .

. . . sew small background squares 
onto opposite corners 
of the larger print squares . . .
{larger is a relative term ~ the colored squares are only 2 1/2 inches} 




. . . i'm always tempted 
not to trim them up . . . 


. . . but, i'm always glad 
when i do take the time 
to do just that . . . 


. . . things just fit together 
so nicely . . . 


. . . rows one, two, and three . . . 
. . . well ~ parts of those rows . . . 
. . . they're long and skinny 
and hard to photograph . . . 

. . . and, amazingly, 
i'm all caught up . . .
. . . bring on row four! . . .

{total number of pieces in row three: 74}

Your fabrics really do make this quilt so cute already!
Plus your wonderful quilting skills. Squaring up makes things line up and look so neat and trim.
