I have carried on with the dark red blocks and the pink and green pinwheels today.
I've got 48 red blocks, and I think it will work to arrange them on point (at 45 degrees) - I'll lay them out on my 'design bed' tomorrow and see if they work as I expect
I have done the pinwheels: most are stitched and pressed, a few just need the final seam sewing. I seem to have ended up with 13 of these which is NO good for a quilt. I guess it will be a 3 x 4 quilt with one block in the orphan drawer!
I also made things with these three fabrics, but they are being posted as surprises, so no details about what they are or who they are for until after they have been received!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Oh busy you!!
ReplyDeleteThat sewing/mannequin fabric looks rather fab x
Boy it looks like you got a ton done! And I agree with FB, that sewing tools fabric looks brilliant :-)
ReplyDeleteAt least you are doing sewing, mindless or otherwise. Looking forward to seeing outcomes!
ReplyDeleteGreat pinwheels and your red blocks are looking very good.
