I found lots of shirting fabrics. But may have to hunt up more to get it more scrappy looking. I am using only stash fabrics these days.
I did find an oops in the pattern. It has us cutting the squares for the 4-patch unit bigger than it needs to be. So, I started cutting them smaller and it works nicely and lots less waste.
I am still trying to figure out the rythym of doing this. It was easy to sew up a lot of HST but each Shoo Fly block needs 4 of the 4-Patch units and those have to be framed with triangles and pressed and trimmed. Doing that 110 times. This is going to be fun she says.
I wonder what the Chookshed Callenge number will be tomorrow?
Blessings, Chris

Well, that’s going to keep you off the streets for a while. LOL I’m sure you will start to get into a rhythm with making the blocks and they will look fabulous. Enjoy the process.
ReplyDeleteNice RSC block finish--[when I used to follow RSC I kept my bits and pieces in plastic baggies--and then stored all the colors in one box--] and I still do store all my stash by color (mostly) .
ReplyDeleteI haven't followed for a while now-- as I found that too many starts had piled up and that made me, personally, anxious...Once in a while I will tag along if something I am working on matches the monthly color...hugs, Julierose
Chris, that is a gorgeous block you've stitched there and in such pretty shades too. It looks tricky so don't know if my skills would be up to it. Sigh
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful block, but was shocked when you said how small it is. You did a great job on that tiny block.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, tiny little block.
