An ill wind...

Poorly son had to be picked up from school at lunchtime, so I got to knock work on the head for the Easter holidays a half hour early, and later on that meant no school run.  So making the most of this 'summer's day', I was able to fling all the windows open, get all the washing done and hung on the line and then get a little busy with the sewing machine.  (He is feeling a little better now).

So may I present, BlindBobSquarePants - OK it's not absolutely perfect, but I am really pleased with how this has turned out...

What shall I do with it now!?  Please do not say 'make more'!

Bobbing along...

Not quite finished, but as the light was fading and I am trying not to mess it up (completely), I have saved the final piecing until tomorrow...

A little more presentable...

This morning I went to the school Easter assembly, lots of happy hymns and smiling children.  It also meant I had to wait for 30 minutes between drop off and kick off, so I got to do some HUG in the car!

Having a second look at the mangled mess that was my HST experiment , I twigged that I had actually been sewing and pressing 1/8" seams instead of 1/4" doh!  I am going to blame that for the complete fiddly-fiasco that I ended up with.  I will try again another day and may well attempt some of the alternative methods you, my trusty confidants have suggested, thank you.

So the quick 5 minute scrap trial tonight was this 'little beauty'...

It worked first time!  Even I could have mucked this up, so I am happy.  A definite-maybe for the project.
