Playing with fabrics.....
Starting something new.....
Having a house full of colours......
Getting an idea in my head....
Yesterday this was a pile of cut up fabric, for a pinwheel block. Last night I sewed 4 of them together while watching TV. Now, that is why I like hand piecing! You can't put your sewing machine on you lap, can you?
When you put 4 of these blocks together, you get a whole new design. the star in the centre is what took my imagination, but getting it is such a part of the fun. When I first saw this quilt design it took me a bit to work out how it was made, but it is really simple.
In the long run, the blocks will not be together, it is just a trial. I will not choose the layout until they are all finished.
Just thought I would show how it turned out.
Gorgeous!! I've been thinking more and more about a hand piecing project. There's something about handwork! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo true about hand stitching - look how much you got done while relaxing! They look wonderful ...might be nice on point too.
ReplyDeleteI really, REALLY love this! I'm also into scrap quilts at this moment, this one I will add to my list... what a clever idea! Thanx for that! Greetings from Holland!
ReplyDeleteI really love this block and how it shows a star in the centre of those four blocks!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy making them!
Hand work certainly makes TV more appealing! Beautiful fabrics. I've said it before but I LOVE your color sense!
ReplyDeleteNo, you cannot put your sewing machine in your lap! You are too funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little project.
