That lace looks nice, Mark. I love the idea of tallies between the blocks. I haven't seen that done before in a torchon edge.
As for cutting off and starting something different - I do it all the time!!!!! :) I have a little travel pillow with a small roller, and always have something on the go. However, I may not get the pillow out for another 6 months or so, so I pin a copy of the working diagram on the front, - and that is also a help when explaining to people what I am doing. They can see the lines in the diagram, and can (sometimes!) see how I am following the pattern, and where I am at. Then I get bored with it, - or find a prettier pattern, and cut it off, and start something fresh. I had all these little bits of lace from the travel pillow - and wound up trimming "Miss Mouse's dresses" on a quilt for my little granddaughter!! Now I can be a right Snob, and say that "My Granddaughter has Real lace on her quilt"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Put the piece away, - and you will find it is Just the piece you want, later on!!! :) Regards from Liz in cold, wintery Melbourne, Oz. lizl...@bigpond.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
