WIP Wednesday 3/20/2013

Tonight I worked on wonky blocks, adding fabric and then trimming to make them all the same size. Since I don't have a lot of the white print, I decided to sew two wider strips to each block, rather than four thin strips.

Sewed a strip to the bottom

Trimmed even with the right side of the block

Sewed a strip to the right

Trimmed to 8.5" square

Top three blocks are done

I'll do the same to the remaining six blocks, then work on the border.

    1. Thanks, Jennie. It will be a wallhanging, 28" wide at the most. The wall at the bottom of my stairs, where I plan to display it, is 29" wide, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it fits.

  3. Well done. I struggle with intentionally wonky blocks.

    1. Thanks, Just Sew Sue. I have to work at them, sort of the way I play jazz on the piano. I can do it, but it's not second nature.
