Karlyn sent out packets of scraps in either yellow, green or pink, and asked us for wonky strip blocks inspired by Aneela's tutorial in the first issue of Fat Quarterly. So much fun, I made 2!! Finished 12.5" square.
To test out my design I made a block for myself in my colours for this quarter: green, yellow and white. This was my first time ever doing curved piecing and I think it turned out well. I only made minor changes in the subsequent blocks for the members of my beehive -- I cut the fabric squares smaller so as to lose less fabric to trimming and I wonkified each quadrant more.
The design is inspired by the book "Vivacious Curvy Quilts" by Dianne S. Hire and I modified her techinque by using my Curve Master Presser Foot (which works as advertised, I am happy to report -- no pinning required!)
Day 5 Another busy day at work so didn't get the chance to capture anything apart from this road block again taken with my emergency camera
Cotton-cashmere blend yarn. I’ll sort out the size discrepancies after adding white borders and selectively blocking again - which will be whenever I make enough to have a decent lap blankie.
9 blocks down, a bunch more to go! I haven't decided if I'm adding sashing between the blocks or sewing it up as is.
