Reverse Sewing

My Number Six top (Easy Street) just hasn't been calling my name.

 I'd much rather be working on my Number One: Paper Dolls. 

So, being the procrastinator that I am, instead of working on Easy Street, I finished piecing  the Paper Doll blocks:

Forty nine Paper Doll Blocks!

.

Actually, I ended up making six extra blocks. I will be able to make a second smaller version or I could make one more block and add an eighth row. I'm not sure what the dimensions will be with an extra row, so that part will be determined later. I do have the pieces for a seventh block cut out except for part of the background--I guess I had run out of fabric ( I really need to start writing myself some notes!). 

After I marked all my rows, I took the Paper Doll blocks off of the design wall and put up the Easy Street blocks I had started.

It's not you, the photo is blurred--sorry! 

 You may remember that I hadn't been happy with the low contrast of my brown star points. Just for fun, I stuck some waste triangles on the star points to see how they would look with lighter fabric.

Uh oh....

 Now that I have seen how the stars are popping, I am going to have to do something about it,

 or it will drive me nuts.

 Rats! 

I spent a bit over an hour reverse sewing these Easy Street block components .

That didn't take too long!

Sadly, I have twelve of these setting triangles to take apart.

But only four of these corners--yay!
