My first Artist Date for August was to continue working on the 4-Patch Stacked Posie blocks. I matched each of the incomplete block sets to the remaining fabric I had, seeing if I could get one more square for each. For most of them, I could.

Artist Dates are a way for me to try a new technique, and once in a while I’ll try someone else’s patterns. I followed the instructions on how to cut these blocks, but the pattern calls for sashing and borders that give it the “checkerboard” look. I’ll skip that and do my own thing.
So I watched Damages as I pinned and cut. The show was way too dark for me. I like some nasty characters in my shows, but Glenn Close and Ted Danson seem to have no redeeming qualities and are 2-dimensional in the show. Mean as snakes, and that’s it.
