So, 4 more little scrappy blocks in dark pink, red and orange.
Aneela was right, these are addictive. I have a horrible feeling that I will end up buying fabric to make more and more, which really isn't the idea!
Lynne also gave her blessing to get on with the sashing around the dresden. I duly got mine stitched and hung on the line for a photo-call!
I added a little extra to the right-hand border. This edge was destined to have two joining seams as I am just using scraps and leftovers for the front of the block. So not quite enough to go round and a little dilemma. Rather than leave it looking a little like I had run out of fabric, I stitched up a colourful little block from the last of the teensy offcuts, which may just look daft, but I like it!
Look out for my next post - there may be something in it for you!
Loving those scrappy blocks.

Blimey, I need to get a wriggle on with my dresden, I haven't even done the centre circle yet! Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove the way the Dresden came out. The green/blues against the white is very beautiful. And I am loving the combo of the darker pinks and orange
ReplyDeleteLovely work.

The scrappy blocks look fun and I love your dresden. The little block in the sashing is a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteThe pieces I used for outer sashing were a bit too short, so I added some pieces of fabrics from my dresden leaves. Your block was a big inspiration for me, I hope you don't mind.
