“I have given skill to all the skillful, so that they may make all that I have commanded you. “ Exodus 31:6


“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.
Walter Rauschenbusch

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

You know I had to try it !

Cutting scraps all week, and checking on blogs in-between-time, you know I just had to give the Japanese x and + block a try   And one block tells you nothing; so, in the tradition of Lay's potato chips, I couldn't make just one !

So, here's my start.   The blocks should measure 10 inches when finished.   I wanted to try a bigger block, but I had all these 2 1/2 inch pieces that would be perfect for triangle-squares, and for the middle + and squares !

The middle of the + uses a 6 1/2 inch piece, but I tried piecing it when I didn't have a piece that long, and it turned out just fine.  That fact will give me a lot more leeway with the scraps that I have.

But this will all wait until Monday.  I hope you all visit the church of your choice tomorrow,  and find a way to bless someone this Sunday, as you, yourselves are blessed !

    This reminds me of something British for some reason?? btw..I used to dream about an extra floor of antiques in our attic....nice dream and the detail of things was amazing. Your dream of extra rooms to fill...made me remember. Happy Sunday...to you.
