Feb OMG On Deck

My goal for February is to get all the garlic knot blocks that have been my leaders and enders project for the last couple of years to a quilt top or flimsy!

I started by putting them up on the design wall like this!

I took a grey scale photo and moved around a few but settled on this. I carefully labeled each block, then took them down off the wall and put them in a project box. I needed to finish my Temperature Quilt and Christmas was approaching and our house guests had moved in.

In the mean time, I spent some time looking at blogs and Pinterest and decided I liked this layout better.

So out of the box they came and  back on the design wall in original order. I thought I would just rearrange, so my color distribution was similar.

Here is what I got! ☹️

Not right at all! And there is that weird grayish one in the middle !


I studied the photo on Pinterest, I studied my arrangement. I took pictures of my design wall. FINALLY !  A light bulb went off. Kind of like in the cartoons!  Duh!!  I had changed the direction of every other row, but what I needed to do was change the direction of each block in each row in order to get the intersecting "links".  I fixed it but  neglected to take pictures. Columns 3-8 are back in the project box.  Columns 1 and 2 are webbed and on the design wall, patiently waiting for me to have or maybe take the time to finish.  

If I make it my February OMG, I will TAKE the time! 

Notice my hollow 9 patches in light/bright green for the RSC20 . Green was January's color, but I am behind on everything. And technically I am writing this post on the 30th of January, so I am under the wire. LOL!

I will link this up with Patty's February OMG link up page on the February 1st. 3rd!


Stay Busy and Stay Happy

ps: stay warm is you are in the path of this current storm. Our schools are on a 2 hour delay this morning and I wouldn't be surprised if they closed completely. 5 more inches are expected and accompanying wind!
