Block #68 Postage Stamp |
Here is the thing. I did not quite follow the layout for this block. I noticed that sometimes in the layout, like colours do touch, just not in the same place as mine. Whatever. It seems to be quite a random placement so it is not the end of the world.
I have noticed several bloggers are starting to make and use their own light boxes now that winter is near and light levels and weather inhibit outside photo taking. I am really hoping that I can have my very own light box very soon. I will have to put in a special request with Husband.

Block #26 Cut Glass Dish
|
Here is the thing. I did not quite follow the same layout as in the book. Do you notice a theme emerging? This block has at least as many small triangles as Italy's debt in dollars. Okay, well maybe not as many triangles, but a lot of triangles nonetheless. I cut this block out while watching the Amazing Race on the TV and obviously my counting skills were impaired. When I went to sew this together, I did not have enough triangles and I had used up just about all of these scraps. Major trauma. So I fudged it a bit and not all of the triangles are from the same two fabrics. Can you find them? It is pretty obvious to an expert. I also had to sew two itty bitty pieces of the brown together to make one triangle. Now that was small stuff. Husband says I am insane. Hardly!
Have a lovely Wednesday!!!
I've taken "liberties" with some of my blocks too. Mostly because I was running out of scraps of a fabric.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great!
