Bleary-eyed as I am from sewing all those hundreds and hundreds of bias squares, now I really need to focus. It's time to start sewing the bias squares together, and I have to be sure to make half of them LEFT-handed, and half RIGHT-handed.
But wait, I almost forgot the CENTER blocks! To create some focus in the center, I need 4 bias squares of the same color for each block. That's 20 blocks times 4 for 80 bias squares of the same color. Oops. I don't have 80 of all the same fabric, not even a dull, ugly one. And I certainly want something relatively bright for the block centers. How about 40 and 40? I find 2 slightly "sweet" reds that will do just fine, then sew these together into little blocks that look pretty much like Broken Dishes.
NOW all the rest of the bias squares get sewn into LEFT and RIGHT pairs. (See the blurry photo above, upper right.)
