I have been working on an Ohio Star quilt for Anya’s bed (figure anyone who lives in Ohio should have an Ohio Star quilt or two in their house!). Constructing a quilt is a\u00a0great visual example of exponential\u00a0progression.\u00a0Piecing the\u00a0four tiny triangles into fairly small squares\u00a0… you’ve still got a whole lot of tiny pieces.\u00a0Strips of three squares put together were still a lot of small pieces. But,\u00a0the quilt builds up rather quickly from there – strips turn into 3×3 blocks, then these blocks form\u00a0three really large strips with a border fabric between them. Then border strips go in between the star strips to form the entire quilt top.<\/p>\n

I had the final top pinned together and took a quick picture to share. Something didn’t look right. Took the picture, folded up the project for the night, and went on to other things. Right before bed, I pulled the picture up again to send to my mom:<\/p>\n

Something REALLY didn’t look right …\u00a0stared at it for a few minutes before I realized that two of my block-triangleblock-block strips were attached\u00a0upside down! Instead of having a pink\u00a0triangle along the center block, I\u00a0have\u00a0a white triangle. Looking back at the\u00a0previous step, I do not know how I missed it:<\/p>\n

Evidently there is no historical basis for a humility block (an “intentional” mistake put into a quilt – sort of like small dead end roads used to copyright protect maps) … and, honestly, it always sounded like a defensive “I meant to do that!” kind of thing rather than a real “only God is perfect, so my quilt should have a flaw to avoid angering God” thing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My task for today is to rip out the two backwards blocks and get them stitched back into the quilt. Ugh! Very important lesson learnt — but all in all, not bad for my first quilt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
