Okay, goodie bag project done, I could return to one of my BOM's - Simple Yet Elegant from The Quilt Pattern Magazine. I tried to keep the blocks in the same order as they appeared on the pattern but when I put these next to each other I found that I had a rather light spot bottom left (unfortunately my photo was taken too close and it omitted the problem area.)
I then swapped the heart block at the bottom with the bird block at the top and it looked more balanced.
Then we went for dinner by Karin and at first I thought I would only continue the next day as we returned home rather late.
However I slept until 2:45 and then I was as awake as could be. So I got up and started squaring my blocks. I enlarged the pattern as I wanted it to comfortably fit over a double bed, so instead of making the blocks 12" as per pattern I made them 16".
