I have been sewing away, but somehow things kept getting in the way of the blogging bit. I have to admit it's been more the fun, listening to live music with your sister sort of thing than the washing, gardening, cooking, working stuff, so I'm not complaining.
I spent almost a whole morning working away at my scrap pile.
Without cutting into any more of the larger bits I have left, I have managed a good range of cross blocks of various sizes, triangle-y strips and a few squares. I have pretty much done what I can with this, I think, but it has given me plenty to play around with.
I have filled in the bottom left corner, using a slightly bigger sized cross block.
and am starting to play around over on the right hand side, though for some reason known only to my subconscious I haven't taken any photos of that bit.
I am putting off decisions about the gaps at the top and bottom. I don't think I want to make more quarter circle blocks for those spaces, but will get the sides done and then take a view on where to go next.
I'm glad you are having fun; blogging can sometimes interrupt the creative process. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is coming along well. I like the stripe you used as sashing between the quarter circle and the cross blocks.
ReplyDeleteLife does get in the way doesn't it? But that's a good thing. A fine mix to shake things up. Left side's looking good.
ReplyDeleteDo let us see what you're doing on the right side. I love this piece!
ReplyDeleteLove watching how this continues to evolve. Not to worry about taking photos every step of the way - that really does get in the way of the creative flow.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting reading these posts.. I love how it's all coming along! Is it very big at the moment?
ReplyDeleteLove your progress. It has a very nautical feel to it. I reminds me of Claire Murray's rugs from an old Country Living magazine. Thanks for sharing your creative process. Its very freeing to just tell it all, don't you think?
