Yesterday I was able to finish all of the Lemoyne Star blocks that I previously cut. It’s now time to figure out a layout. I prefer a quilt that is longer than it is wide, but I’m also fighting the lack of the background fabric. I sent the picture to my sister and asked her how she felt about square quilts. She prefers rectangles, but said this one needs to be square.
That’s good as it will be easier to finish. I found 2 more Lemoyne Star halves, so I just need to make 3 more. I’ll use the shirting in the bottom right of the fabric picture. Given that I’m going for a square quilt, there might be enough left in the shirt to use in sashing or whatever I do to finish this quilt.
My pile of little 9-patches are growing as my Leader/Enders. I think I have 2 more brown pair left to make, then it will be time to move to another color.
The paint is up on the wall. I’m not sure what is next. The general contractor will be here this morning. I think all that is left are installing the cabinet inserts & door/drawer pulls, floor, backsplash, countertops, appliances, electric, and plumbing.
