I Need to Be Rewired

Slowly I have been working on the

"It Just Takes Two" blocks

designed by Dear Jane and Sentimental Stitches.

Let me emphasize slowly.

Lots of the blocks are designed to be done

with foundation piecing even though

many of  the blocks really could be done faster

with regular piecing, only my opinion.

But I haven't wanted to stop and figure out the measurements.

So I have had to rewire my brain to do paper piecing.

It is like the football being pulled away from Charlie Brown.

AAUGH!

My normal becomes abnormal.

I really have to stop and think about what I'm doing.

And like always it doesn't make sense.

Sewing on the right side of the paper,

With the fabric on the wrong side of the paper,

but right sides together..

 You are basically doing your sewing unseen.

But it's coming out right on the wrong side!

No, it's really not invisible, you do see what you're doing

when you turn it over, but it does take a lot more time, at least, 

for me to do.

Granted the positive part is that you just sew on the printed lines

and your points are always perfect.

So despite the extra time sewing,

and tearing away the paper,

I can do the happy dance when I'm done.

Oh, no 

There are more blocks to do.

I'd better keep going before my Neuron Pathways

 get a kink.

Until Next Time-
