Oh the bliss of working on blocks with a friend! This afternoon we had a production line going - Me cutting, Jackie sewing, me pressing, Jackie sewing!
From blocks
To half square triangles
to *lots* of HSTs (half square triangles)
Each HST opens to a square
These can be pivoted to make the pinwheel
Pinwheels are then arranged ...
We had planned on leaving a gap between each block (sashing) but felt it was looking a bit bland ...
So we look away the gaps: and doesn't it look great! Hope you like it Tara!
(thanks Katy for your suggestions: we sorted the directional fabric so they "flow", and put the flowery fabrics in groups of similar colours)
And THANK YOU JACKIE! Team work is such fun :-)
Two crafts in one day, so two posts in one day!!!!!
