Have you ever started a project that you just weren't sure you could do? I've done that many, many times. I started one yesterday that I think is awesome but I'm not sure I have the skills to complete it. I am terrible at Y seams and this pattern has a ton of them. I plan to make oodles of 9 patch blocks (finish at 3") and then I'll either learn how to make Y seams or I'll use them in another pattern. The pattern is similar, or maybe the exact same as an old one called Jack's Chain. This one I purchased from Etsy, is called Ring Cycles.
I want to be sure my 'rings' show up, so I am going to make a few with the darker fabric running diagonal through the block, as in the green and orange below. In the pattern, the 9 patches are all the same two colors. I'm using scraps so I think I might need to help the visual of it some. Not sure yet. I may just make some the same and mix them in the bunch too. Who knows what it will turn out like??
Just look at all those Y seams......yikes!
Also done a little painting and hiding this weekend.
I continued on the avocado......changing and adding.....
It's been quiet around here the last couple of days. The kids went to the other grandparents for a few days to visit before school starts. I miss this little people. We sure had some fun for a couple of days.
I look forward to more of it.

Love the quilt pattern! It reminds me of a favorite toy when I was little - a Spirograph!
It does!
