I've spent hours playing with Maggie Pearl blocks in the very bright colours shown in previous posts -could not create a layout which I liked. Blocks based on the colours mentioned in previous posts just didn't work together and also I realised I actually had underestimated and would need another five blocks.
Just couldn't face going back to cutting and sewing more, then I remembered I had a few blocks, made as I stitched my first Maggie Pearl, in my 'spare parts' box which were quite off the wall for that particular version, however I pulled them out and mixed them with my new ones.
First layout - excuse the rough placement, I hadn't straightened or pinned at this stage but
not happy with the left top block and the pink one below so switched out the pink
still should play some more but to be honest I just want to finish and start on my next project!! I could switch the two blocks bottom row and see how that looks, a task for after dinner and then re-assess the placement of blocks tomorrow morning.
I have the fabric and pattern to make a waistcoat for my little great-granddaughter - I say little, she is 18 months old and a pretty good height for her age, she is a sweetie, her daddy (our daughter's husband) measures 6' 9" and our daughter is 5' 9" so we're guessing she's going to be shooting up pretty quickly, better get busy at the machine!
This is the waistcoat pattern - the yellow frills will not be on the one I make!
