Wordless WIP Wednesday: March 6, 2013

Scattered Seaglass

Oh, improv. So soothing, so meditative. Give me a stack of scraps and I could make crazy blocks all day long. I started these blocks in Katie’s class last July, and I took full advantage of access to her scrap bin.

 

Back home, I just kept adding more and more of my own scraps, with no particular plan in mind. When I evaluated my WIP list at the end of 2012, I found that I had enough blocks to make a decent wallhanging to complement Seaside Cabin, also from Katie’s class.

 

Ruthlessly, I chopped up any incomplete blocks and incorporated them into the backing. For the quilting, I had a blast with straight line echo quilting. I’m sure I’ll come back to crazy blocks again sometime, but for now I’ll continue to whittle down my WIP list.

Fresh Sewing Day: February 2013

Oh my goodness! It feels so good to be making things again! You know, actually finishing projects instead of just plugging away at them. Here’s to small finishes!

Linking up with Fresh Sewing Day.
