Squirrel's Batik Brother #2 -
After I finished my chores -
I cut another set of Fat Quarters -
Using one of my strip dies -
But I didn't get much sewing done -
The FUN part is deciding which fabric I want to use for the "Star" -
And I'm trying to get my cutting sequence more organized -
How many of "what" can I get from this pair of strips? -
Should I cut "these" and "those" or cut "these" and "something else"? -
Which combo will be best so I don't waste fabric and/or come up short? -
Then I keep "re-counting" to make sure that I have all the pieces I need -
Especially when I don't get as many from a set of strips as I thought I would -
So - when I get that perfected -
These should go MUCH faster - ;))
Chain piecing is great -
Once I have the pieces cut - they're ready to sew - ;))
More chores are planned for tomorrow -
So we'll see how much sewing I can get done - if any -
And whether or not I'll have another finished block to show you - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Looking forward to seeing what you get accomplished! The fabric is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteMy challenge with that block was getting all the triangles facing in the right direction, I guess with a batik you could just flip it over.
