I was making blocks for my bee mate Sheila's row quilt last year. She wanted monochrome blocks with a splash of colour and a sense of movement across the row.
I decided on this block!
I made it as portrayed in the diagram. But had lots of trouble matching up the points and making things look lovely. I abandoned those blocks and redrafted them so that the grey shape was all one piece which made it a whole lot easier to get things aligned properly for Sheila's row.
I found them again while looking through my boxes of stuff and thought imperfect as those blocks were I should give them some sort of new life.
I listed them on my Finish-A-Long list and have made them into a cushion!
And it doesn't look too bad....in fact I am sure I will hardly notice those imperfection while using the cushion (though I do know they are still there) !
Another quick finish from my Finish-A-Long list which I will be linking at the end of this third quarter.
Lucky me!
ReplyDeleteThey make great cushions and you'll see the mismatched seams a lot less once they're wrinkled from washing ;o)
