Might I interest you in some more colours and shapes? I'm still unsure how well all of these are going to go together, but I've sure used the same fabrics for most of them!

OK, the day started with a stack of *actually* square blocks and trimmed borders. I reassembled the blocks into one long strip and added the border to the “top” edge before I got hung up on the geometry of whether I could cut the blocks with two blocks to the vertical or three. I need 90 linear inches to cut the back, two fronts, and two sleeves and I’m like 85% sure I can do it with two vertical blocks. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow. I will definitely need to use the old borders at the top and bottom of the strip to get enough vertical height for the pattern pieces.

I’ll need to recut the existing backing to fit the new shape, but I’m waiting on that until after the front is done in case I need to do some more clever piracy to get enough either length or width. In extremity, I do have some other random cherry yardage that could be tapped in for this project. I am nothing if not aesthetically consistent.
