return of the pajama pojagi

yep, i'm loving this utterly. do you have any idea how many years i waited to know what i was going to do with this fabric? and i think this is really working. we're probably about halfway there with this one -- most of the little pieces are in place, but i'm going for about a 30" square piece in the long run.

i love the sorta "ransom note" feel of pojagi. working with the plaid and checked fabrics is good in a way -- all the nice straight lines helped me figure out where to put relatively straight seams -- but when it came to wanting to do diagonal joins, or three-sided pieces -- going against the print to find a nice straight angled seam was like being in a funhouse.

ironing would be a good step at this point. i broke the iron a few weeks ago -- or, the iron broke and i found it that way, one of the two. we need to get to target for an iron, and this will look even better.
