Hubby was off on a fishing trip…..I had uninterrupted time in my sewing room. First I made the appliqué for a cousin sewing lots of stops and starts, going slow and turning lots of corners like driving around town. Getting to the sewing on this buggy barn pattern was like hitting the open highway in South Dakota where the roads are straight and long with a full tank of gas or rather a freshly oiled machine the roar became a hum. I also found a new use for my knitting blocking tiles…..put the buggy barn piles on the tiles and I can slide the tiles away as I sew the big segments together, everything stays in order. Another little trick I learned long ago was to put a sticky note just below my markings on my big square up tool so I cut every block the exact same size—no oops. Those white spots are the reflection of the ceiling lights. —Ann—

Those are fun blocks. Haven’t thought about The Buggy Barn in years. Great tip about the sticky note too.
