At last!

Last year I sorted out a lot of brown, yellow, green, brown-red and more fabrics from my cupboard. I knew I hadn’t used any of these for years so I had to do something. We have a small cabin in the woods that needed some sofa covers so I sorted the fabrics into two groups. I cut all of them into big squares (12,5inches) and sorted them into brown/yellows and green/rest.

The brown yellows I matched two by two and cut them in a sort of log cabin. When I had sewn all these together I knew I didn’t want to start on the next colour so I kept the squares and made backs for the cover quilts. 

Here you kan see the fronts and backs. I had enough blocks to make three pillows too.

 

I ‘m looking so  forward to cover my old cabin sofas.

Even though I got my first flue for the season I have finished some other products this September. Here are some pictures.

 

Isn't this a beautiful button!

Which way to turn the blocks?

After last blog post I had a look at the pictures of my blocks and I discovered that I had turned some of them the wrong way. Digital photos are a good way to use for trying out a lot of different settings.

I changed the placement of some of the blocks.

Put on some blues and red triangles

Then green small borders and squares of many colours.

Now I’m auditioning a lot of borders , trying not to let the results be too dull, because I see with all the dark blues the blocks faded down a bit.

One finish this month. A small heart wall hanging. The blocks are made by some of my pupils in a class project. The three groups decided how to put their hearts together.  I sew them all  together and put the three groups together as a class by some metal rings.

August and OPAM summary

July went quickly but I managed to finish some projects.

A nice purse for travelling.

A jumper and two pair of socks for the autumn.

 Now I’m trying to finish some UFOS and WISP. I have a lot of new projects I want to start, but my promise to myself this year is to finish what is possible before I start a new project.

This one I started a year ago. I made all the 20 centers and cut the fabrics, but that was all. Now I have come so far. The blocks aren’t finished yet so there is more to come...
