Variety is the spice of life, so I am feeling very spicy. If I had to choose one fabric only to use for the rest of my life? Well that would be cruel, but I would definitely choose Liberty Tana Lawn.
Picking the fabrics to combine in each block has been helping curb my innate desire to make sure everything matches perfectly.
The hardest part of this project is trying to NOT plan ahead. I want to wait until I have all the blocks to choose the fabric and style of the sashing. But I’m getting impatient.
Five blocks a month, until I have a total of…I don’t know yet. I have not yet even calculated how big I want to make this.
Seeing each block individually makes me think I want this on my bed. King size. At least that will give me a long time to work on it. I really enjoy working on foundation paper pieced projects.
The obsessive part of me craves the perfection that can be achieved with paper piecing. And it is so easy! I took some pictures while I was working on these blocks.
Sew, press, cut, add fabric and repeat. Easy and stunning!
We’ll talk soon, I’m off on an adventure.
