Making blocks.....................


I started sewing some blocks together last night and had to stop when I ran out of large pieced blocks.  I think I am going to like it with the fabrics I'm using.  I want to add a few more dark fabrics though so I don't get bored with the same fabrics over and over.






I sewed some more large blocks after I took the photo above.









They are made in sets of 4 so there are 4 center pieces the same shape.  I'm trying to make as many different size centers as I can in the 9 sets of 4.








I have been seeing macramé again in decorating.  I'm wondering if macramé jewelry will come back in fashion too.  I bought these from an artist back in the 1970s.

    With the large prints, the more different prints the better. I think your macramé bracelets would totally on point today!

    I was thrilled to see the first blocks go up on the wall. “TSW” already shows this is going to be one fun creation to work on.

    Fun to see Macrame’ is making a crime back. Love your bracelets.

    Come back not ‘crime’ back. I get so frustrated when this iPad takes over my sentences !

    I have been collecting a pile of large printed floral fabric with a bright and cheerful quilt in mind. I just haven't been able to pin myself down to a pattern for making it. I love how this quilt of yours is going to bring the beauty of an amazing flower garden into your home in the cold winter months. Snow on the ground but a burst of spring and summer in the bedroom :)

    So good to see the first few blocks on the wall, the colours are beautiful Funnily enough the design reminds me of the Slashed Squares I'm making right now.
