Feelin’ Stupid
I spent a pretty fair amount of time yesterday, and most of today, working on a project for the Senior Center’s fundraising craft sale (for next year, which is fortunate, all things considered!). I did very careful (I thought) calculations, wanting to do a batch of potholders 6 1/2" square, using the square-in-a-square quilting pattern, with a 9-patch scrap block as the center, 45* square — a good way to use up a bunch of my scraps.
Well, ol’ genius here miscalculated the size of the nine-patch blocks by 1/4", which means all the inner blocks I cut and sewed together are unusable for that project and I get to start over. ::sigh:: Oh, well, at least I have over a year to make sure I get it right and make enough to be worthwhile. Sometimes being a fallible human stinks, ĉu ne?
Other than that, it’s been a rather slow and boring day, so I won’t inflict it on the rest of y’all.
