Today’s the day… I’ve been wanting to start on a hand-piecing project and make a medium-sized spools quilt. I’ve looked at a variety of different patterns:
So I drafted mine out…
And made my templates… and I’m ready to go.
FYI: I made my templates exactly the way you see here. I trace around the templates and add the seam allowance when I cut the fabric out.
The sewing began!
Once you start sewing on these, they go together very quickly and are a lot of fun. Each one has a different light background.
Stay tuned!
how fun -- but then you know me - I love hand piecing it can be so relaxing and it is fun to do things the old fashioned way - everyone always seems to be in such a hurry.

ReplyDeleteI liked the block with the stripe fabric looking like thread. I wonder if you can put the stripes so they are on the diagonal to look like cross wound thread.
I am still working on my hand pieced DEAR JANE quilt... I figure I will get it done in a hundred years.
Those are super cute!
