I started putting my Double Date blocks together yesterday. Ironing the seams is a challenge and I finally decided to iron them however they wanted to be ironed. I will do a final pressing before I take them to be quilted. I got the blocks halfway together when I realized that I need six more blocks to get a six by seven row layout. But I love the way it looks so far!
I'll take a deep dive into my green tub this afternoon and see if I have enough scraps to make what I need. I know I'll need to get a little more fabric for the last border and the binding, but I think the finished size will be 72 x 78 or so. I am using a light greenish grunge for the setting triangles, so may just get a bit darker grunge for the outer border.
I will have a few lighter blocks left when I finish which is OK. I can maybe use them on the back or as a table runner.
Our weather has been gloomy due to Canadian wildfires and steadily more humid here this week. The basement sewing area is the place to be.
