4 x 4 x 4

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.

  4. Keep 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?

  5. This looks like such a relaxing project, bias cuts notwithstanding.

  6. I don't envy you with their shifty tendencies, but they look great ;-)

  7. They 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!)

  8. Really 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! :)
