Coming Home Again

Kurt and I had the best time in Jamaica. Many walks on the beach, a little too much time in the sun. 

There was nothing more urgent on the schedule than a dinner reservation. 

It was just the reset that I needed after getting all too caught up in the worry over having a job next year. 

We got home again late Wednesday which left time for a few more log cabin blocks. I finally had to call it quits yesterday when I ran out of foundation paper patterns. I will need to make a few more copies and then continue to figure out where to go with the design. I think this will be called fractured diamonds. Maybe I will add a few more rows to the bottom to put the red diamond at the break between the first and second third. Then I think that I want to mirror the purple and red chevrons near the right hand side. The whole thing is going to be rotated... so something like this... 

Hmmm. It is all too symmetrical now that I look at it this way. I will keep playing. Maybe if the red diamond is at the first third then the peak of the chevron can be at the second third? At some point I will need to decide on a size. Having some parameters might help. Given that the blocks are going to finish at 2.5 inches, it isn't as large as it seems. I might need to get some graph paper out to do some planning. 

I ran out of red leaders and enders while I was sewing the log cabin blocks, but there is a good representation of red on the wall. Time to go and figure out what color is next! (Just checked, and pink is up next!)

 It has been a lovely week. Spring break is one of the nice things about teaching. How has your red month progressed?
