this month I decided to make a test block with some of them for a new block I'd drawn up. I'm still thinking about whether I like it or not.....lol. this is a 15" finished block and was paper=pieced.
What do you think of the block?
And the scraps that were cut off as I trimmed up the block sections have gone into these three postcards that I have in process.Check out what the others have done with their scraps this month -
Kate, Gun, Titti, Heléne, Eva, Sue, Nanette, Lynn, Lynda, Birthe, Turid, Susan, Cathy, Debbierose, Tracy, Jill, Claire, Jan, Karen, Moira (me), Sandra, Linda, Chris, Nancy, Alys, Kerry, Claire, Jean, Johanna,
Joanne, Jon, Hayley, Dawn, Gwen and Connie
Gratitudes:
1. Knee is slowly healing
2. The broken branches on the tree in front of the house haven't fallen on the house.
I love it!
ReplyDelete15 inches is a nice big block - have you plans for it?
ReplyDeleteI quite like the idea of quilty postcards, I must give it a try one of these days. I've been trawling back through all your posts with 'quilted postcards' in the text to see how you do them.
I really like your block and I'm interested to see how you use it in a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like the block, and I would make it, but you know I'd never paper piece it! =)
ReplyDeleteI like the block too, but for myself I'd probably have made a scrappy centre, used something fussy cut for it or maybe made the outer square on point a bit chunkier as I find the pale centre panel a bit 'empty'. It's cute, though, and a great use of scraps!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in your big block, like Kate, I'd probably "do something" in the centre. Look forward to seeing your scrappy postcards.
