Day 4: Light blue. New technique: slashing. I also tried adding some "larger" sized scraps.
Day 5: White. New technique: I made two blocks and put them face to face, drew a line and stitched on either side of it, then cut it apart (the same way as if you were making HSTs). Not so sure how I feel about it, but I thought I'd let it go and see where the challenge takes me. I also felt more comfortable about using larger scraps. So comfortable that i even threw in some of my favorite scraps (meaning this will have to turn into something of value some day..)
Day 6: Purple. New technique: more slashing, and I actually set a TIMER for 15 minutes. Haha, when it went off I was no where near done playing, but I let myself stitch for 10 additional minutes and then stopped.
I took everything else off the design wall and this is how the challenge blocks look so far..
I do love these monochrome blocks. Can't wait to see what you do with them!
ReplyDeleteI do love them too! Looking forward to more and more. I've got a stack that of "monos" I made a couple of years ago. You've inspired me to dig them up and play some more
ReplyDeleteSuch a busy girl! I do love the way these look. I am going to have to try a few of these myself. Happy sewing!
