Taking count..........

 It was an errand day yesterday, in addition to baking a batch of cookies.  I didn't get much sewing done so I did counting instead.

Single columns of flannel triangles.  The original quilt I designed (shown on Monday's post) has 7 of these.



9 Double columns - most would be like this because I have 8 in most of the sets of triangle squares.  In my original quilt I have only 4 of these so I can add one more strip to 5 of them to make triple columns.






I only have 4 of the triple column blocks sewn and there were 14 of them in the original quilt.  I don't have to follow the layout of the original exactly but I thought I would start out doing that.

I have lots more to sew into blocks so I'll concentrate on the triple column blocks.



I brought the box of flannel rectangles up to the main floor studio so I can check out the colors.  When I put the flannel blocks on the design wall they don't want to stick.  I think it is because the seams on the pieced blocks want to curl a little.  I'm going to have to pin some of the non-sticking ones which will slow down the design time.
