Pandemic project progress...try saying that fast 3 times! One of my least favourite pass times is auditioning fabrics. I take forever choosing, removing, trying again, walking away and returning to the same dilemma. Honestly, if I didn't just give in at times and settle with my choices despite not being happy, I would never get any quilts pieced. So, here are blocks 4 and 5 of the B.O.M pieced after much huffing , puffing and grrrrring.
Here is how they will be pieced together.
I have not yet added lace or doilies ( doilys) ? But I have pinned some lace on the 2nd block. I haven't got much lace in my stash and I really don't wish to cut into my grandmothers' doilies but I do have some crocheted ones from an Op Shop .
What am I doing here? ...
Well, I decided to needle turn hexies to the border squares instead of circles. ( Each block should have these attached but I am leaving it until I can make several at once). I basted a few hexies ready to use when, thankfully, I decided to revisit the size of the finished squares. Ooops! My hexies were waaay too big. So, not wanting to order one pack of smaller hexie papers online , I decided to improvise and cut the used and new ones I had. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!
Have you improvised much during lockdown?
