In a wee box in the corner of my sewing room is a collection of blocks for the recycled shirts quilt I'm making in slow time. As part of my plans for November I had hoped to make a few more blocks and at the weekend I did.
Four 4 x 4 blocks were stitched up and added to the pile. Those little blighters have quite a bit of shift going on in them - differing fabrics and some cut on the bias as per the original shirts are giving me a run for my money on what should be easy peasies. Undeterred, I've added them to the box and will just have to put my faith in my trimming abilities when all the blocks are made up.
They are lovely! It will be a quilt worth the angst! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThey are really nice and trimming can make lots of things right! Trust me, I know! Di x
ReplyDeleteYou are getting there bit by bit very nicely indeed.
ReplyDeleteKeep going, they are looking fab. Do you want to send me some material, I could make a couple of blocks up for you over the holidays if you would like: I won't be revising, so would be happy to help?
ReplyDeleteThey they look great! Keep going.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a relaxing project, bias cuts notwithstanding.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you with their shifty tendencies, but they look great ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic, Sarah! I sympathize on your frustration, but it'll be worth it in the end, I'm sure!! (I'm already starting to forget about Saturday's meltdown over Frankenblanket, for instance, and am basking instead in its nearly finished loveliness!)
ReplyDeleteReally love these blocks Sarah, looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. Reminds me how much I love quilts made up of tiny squares...I'm inspired to go with this for my next quilt venture! :)
