Here are the 2 blocks I finished for Cyndi this month. Lining up the strips with each cut was a bit gnarly. I don't do a lot of improv, so this was a bit of a stretch for me, but it came together pretty quickly. Sam was watching me at one point and about had a cow when she saw me slice with my rotary cutter and no ruler =)
Cyndi asked us where we would want to live if we could move anywhere and why? A few years ago I would have said southern Italy with barely a pause, but I know I'd be the only one in my family who'd really enjoy that. Then I thought I'd go "home" to the DC area, but I realized I seriously don't like the traffic or cost of living, so I'd just really like to go back and visit. I think I'd like to move somewhere closer to family--and since I have family spread all over the US, that is still totally open-ended and vague. Ultimately, I think I'd be happy anywhere I have cell phone reception, internet access and my sewing machine.
Also, Marti drew #1 for the UFO Challenge this month. I've got nine blocks to make from thse fabrics. I think I'll do some strip piecing for all the little 4-patch units (45 of 'em) and take it from there.
You were a lot more adventurous with your curves than I was. I am not really an improv person either, but it was fun.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine why the rest of the family would not embrace Italy!
Have fun with your strip piecing!
Those blocks are really great but not probably something I would attempt.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those curves are impressive. I haven't tackled curves yet, but it's definitely on my to-do list. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great blocks this month. I like the colors and it is something different. Great job on getting yours done already. I started mine this morning before work and hope to finish them tonight.
