Just letting you know

I had my housework done with an hour to spare for supper preparation.  I was off to the sewing room to see what I had in my possession to make the Pat Sloan block.

I had one fabric I knew was going into this quilt.  It's been in the house for a long, long time.  I gathered others and will add as I need.
This fabric was just ordered and delivered and it goes so well with what was in stock I had to add it into the mix.  Rather appropriate I would say
Even with the pattern right in front of me, I messed up two cuttings, but I only had to trim off 1/2".  I have 2 1/2" stuck in my head.  I'm buying a highlighting pen.
 It took me longer to get up and walk over to press than it did to sew it together.  I did all the cutting and laid it out and then did a lot of strip piecing.
 I'm going to make two, I think.  I don't have the fabric for the other one.  I'm thinking of a layer cake and adding fabrics to it.  OR I may just not add borders and use it as a wall hanging or a "throw" over the back of the sofa for the winter.
Time will tell
