There are so many pieces so definitely have to label all the fabrics to keep them straight. And to add to my insanity, I decided to modify the pattern to only create those blocks.
I've completed 5 of these blocks.
So far I'm quite happy with how these are turning out.
Next up, I had to make a block for a quilt that my Fundy guild is making. Here is the block that I was assigned to make.
Cute little chick block. I'm not too excited about the hand stitching. I would have much rather machine stitched those legs.
I also cut up strips for a fabric strip swap happening within my Fundy Guild. Every month you cut up strips for the members involved in the club. Each month is a different colour. Red is the colour for February so here are my 2-1/2" strips.
At the end of the year, each member will have close to 4 rainbow jelly rolls :)
I'm still continuing with my fabric fast! I've almost put a fabric order in more than a couple of times. I debated and had a great person talk me out of it ;)
It does feel good to be using fabrics from my stash!
So how has the first month of 2017 been for you? Did you get much sewing time in?
I participated in a strip swap in my previous guild. I'm still working through using all the strips.
