Actually this small piece is made up with cut up HSTs but
the result does look like small pieces sewn together individually.
So my last post I was here
Next I added a 1" finished Spot border followed
by a 2 and 1/2" finished border of the left over HSTs sewn together
in no particular order.
I simply cut the top and bottom border at the required length of
23 and 1/2"
then repeated the two sides with 28 and 1/2"
so nothing matches, no good looking for points meeting up,
just ad hoc, easy peasy!
I followed on with another narrow 1"finished Spot
and this is as far as I go I think, simply because I have no idea right now where to go from here!
This really was only a sort of practice piece, but I do like it very much, mainly
because I love all shades of purple/lavender.
Apart from Crumbs all I have to show since my last post is the find
of five Lego blocks in my Spare Parts box, completely forgotten why
I stored them away here, but together with my latest Lego blocks stored in their project box
I now have 10 in total!! A bonus find I think.
My aim here is for a 50" x 60" lap quilt.
Stop Press - See the bottom of the post following on from the shell- something for all Kaffe fans!!
To tone down the colour a little here's a photo of a shell found
on the local Sandspit beach, beautifully soft and restful and although I zoom in on the
bright colours I do also like the pastel shades.
A quilt using these shades of cream, and peach is possible.
Not including the brown!
For Kaffe fans here are two very, very early books of his
published and purchased by me in 1985 - don't know how the tear came into being
as I treasure my books and treat them like gold dust, anyways next up
published and bought by yours truly in 1987.
Just click to enlarge.
See you all soon.
