Another constructive day!

I really am getting too used to mornings off work, sunshine and children old enough to entertain themselves for long enough to let me do my thang!

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!

  9. Love 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

  11. The scrappy blocks look fun and I love your dresden. The little block in the sashing is a brilliant idea.
    The 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.
