I know it seems like Day Two has come around quickly but worry not. Day One was Saturday and Day Two was Sunday. I finished the patchwork too late to take a photo so here is one I took this morning before I did any more to it.
I have another strip ready to add and then I need to think about the borders and backing and indeed whether it is big enough.
I do like this but next time I am going to use some brighter fabrics.

interesting that you do it in strips. I've always done it in hexagons joined to hexagons. Then each 'flower' joins. aren't the joins fiddly?

I have one of these projects to do on the plane in a couple of weeks :) I like to hand stitch from time to time but I baste differently so I can reuse the papers as I go and don't need to snip off the threads. I should try it this way too really to see which I prefer working with.
ReplyDeleteToot - no, not fiddly at all. I was thinking of the pattern being stripes almost.
ReplyDeleteI did try a different way of sewing them up and confused myself. So I saw this way on the internet and tried it.
Kerry - I saw your method on your blog and it something I might try but to be honest I find this way fine and I can reuse the paper pieces if the paper is thick enough.
