I did some hoop work for a swap mate. This only took an hour because I kept forgetting to change the threads.
Next, I decided to use these two fabrics which I found in my stash while refolding the other day.
Note the geometric (ahem) design in the top fabric. Sorry, that a private joke with one of my blogging friends.
I thought the geometric fabric would be a great one to start a stash busting project. So far I've sewn fifty-six 5 inch blocks. I used a foundation sew and flip method.
Love it...... no seams to match... just my style.
5 Kind Words from....:
Great embroidery heart. Please send me the source when you get a chance. I love the colors of your stash busting project.
LOVE love love that embroidery heart.
I too love what you are doing with the hearts. Love your block!!
Deeply from your heart! That´s what it says!
Lovely!
String blocks (always on foundations) are my favourite go to blocks - when I want to use up scraps, when I want to make blocks without stress, and when I just want to sit and sew without having to worry about accuracy or colour matching - I love them! Whatever colour comes next out of the scrap bin - is what goes onto the block - no worries!
