Yesterday I made the first of the nine-patches planned for E’s coverlet …

then dug out some unused patches from past projects to get a sense of how the nine-patches will look next to the strips of cloth I stitched together the day before …

That in turn led me to wonder what to put into the triangular area between the strips and the half-log-cabin blocks. Fortunately, I have lots and lots of unused patches, so I mocked up several variations and made monotone images to get a sense of how that might go (click to see full images) …

I have a cloth that I made back in 2017 during a mostly unsuccessful project …

The cloth measures about 40” x 54” and is composed of two harem cloth layers glue stitched onto one layer of linen (with thanks, as always, to Jude for her teaching) …

It’s just about the right size for E’s coverlet …

ideas for which are starting to take shape …
