Design Wall Monday - 7/25/16

I spent quite a bit of time this weekend and last trying to arrange the rose stars for my owl project. I had thought a certain block should be dead center because it "stuck out." I eventually realized that it didn't really stick out all that much so I went back to my original center and it came together fairly quickly. It pays to not second guess oneself!

Yipp - I'm missing one block on the bottom left.
That's because I can't count and thought I had 23. Oopsies.

If you look at the center star, there are 6 stars around that one - half are attached and I hope to have another attached tonight. I've also got 3 across the top attached. The goal is to have as much of the "center" attached as possible before I go camping so that I can finish the center and then surround it all with the background pieces while camping.

On the other hand, Mother Nature is playing with the weather and it's supposed to rain every day. That doesn't mean all day but that is still a possibility. Given the sandy campground, heavy rainfall tends to bounce off the sand and it might not be a good idea to work on a large piece in the rain. I'm going to have to pack a variety of hexie projects for all weather options :) Darn!


While stressing over the owl blocks I also switched it up a little. I now have 7 blue pieced rosettes done. Only 70 more to go!

It does look a good layout. Not sure about taking it camping though with that weather warning....

I wouldn't take that beauty out into the mountains with bad weather. Lots of other things will do. We had one doozie of a storm here today with almost 3" of rain. Thunder and lightening - think my phone has been fried.

this is looking so good fingers crossed you are able to work on it and the rain does not spoil the camping trip
