Re: [lace] block pillow making

[Jean Barrett]

And if you have a 'tray'  such as Bev described it makes it much easier 
to move the blocks around when your pattern reaches too close to the 
edge. Then you can keep your work in the best position on the pillow.

Hi Jenny and everyone
Your pillow looks super, excellent! - you might want to think of a
permanent 'tray'
rather than the elastic to keep the blocks in order. I have a 9-block
pillow inside a wooden frame I made from thin plywood for the base, and
scraps of trim from a lumber yard for the sides, a pain at
the corners, because I had to sand and bevel each piece to get a nice
fit - however it was worth it. The depth of the sides can be less than
that of the blocks, just make the sides deep enough to contain
everything.
