I got all the remaining backgrounds cut for my retro flowers last night, and this afternoon cut all the 1″ strips for the square blocks. I was going to start with sewing the curves, but you know, those squares looked like an easier place to start… ;o) Because I had handily cut strips 15 1/2″ in length, I was able to do 2 squares at a time on one strip in both directions. Yay for totally flukey cutting width choice/maths! Anyway, here are all my pieces cut. The centres are 1/2 done, so didn’t really merit their own pic. Guess I need to tackle those curves soon…
BTW, random fact of the day, did you know that it’s Gideon Sundback’s 132nd birthday today? ‘Who is Gideon Sundback?’ I hear you ask. He’s the man that made all those wee pouches possible, the one that invented the notion feared by seamstresses far and wide, yes folks, he invented the zip.
Did you see the google zip thing today? I must have zipped and unzipped the damn thing like 50 times!!
Damn iGoogle, the spoilsport!
Happy curve sewing – I am 3/4 through x
Oh there's a stack of curves to get your teeth into! Good luck missus x
Good luck with all the curves. Knowing you they will all turn out perfect.
Hugs
Good luck with the curves!
Good luck with the curves!

How have I not managed to google anything today?? Good luck with the curves!
Ok so I have looked at that zipper at least 10 times today but it did not occur to me to unzip it, thank you. And you will have fun sewing the curves, I am sure. I did make a small video if you wanted to check it out. I am far behind on the blog reading, I love the picture of you and Sheila and also your lists for winter are rather amazing.
Ha! I was just, as in seconds ago, unzipping the google zipper with my daughter who asked me the same thing, Mom do you know who……… is. So very, very cool. We personally think that's one of the best Google thingies yet!!!
I saw the zip on google as well but din't know I could unzip it! Can't wait to see your Retro flowers.
ooh – curves huh? keep looking at those retro flowers – sooo pretty
I love the zipper on Google it was really quite cool. Can't wait to see your flowers 🙂
I heard that somewhere about the zipper today.. but I missed the Google zipper! Argh! That would have been fun. hehe Yah, I'm a dork. Can't wait to see your flowers come together. :o)
Interesting fact – I just love all these little details. Good luck with the curves.
it's fun to know we re working on the same retro flowers blocks right now.
I missed that zipper thing on google today
Happy curve sewing. You'll find they are way easier and go more quickly than anticipated.
I love the way google does those clever things in honour of people birthdays. Have lots of fun curvy sewing times.
I spent way too much time with that Google zipper yesterday! Hope your curve sewing goes/went well!
Aw poo, I missed the zipper! Now that I mostly use Chrome, I haven't been to the google search page since I can search from the address bar. Shucks!
