Awesome improvisation. ...It looks very Gees Bend. Awesome improvisation. <br /><br />I just read a really interesting post about using scraps. Completely Cauchy said, "You control the fabrics that comprise the block. That is, you choose your color/print palette. If two fabrics clash then they will continue to clash after piecing. In some instances, you don’t control which fabrics end up next to each other. So choose ones you like together.<br /><br />You control the quality of the piecing. Make sure your seams are straight, press seams after each new addition, and periodically square up. There will inevitably be a wonky quality to your piecing, but “wonky” does not mean “sloppy.”<br /><br />You control your ability to have fun. Relax. There are almost no mistakes in improvisational piecing. Just follow your instincts and moderate your expectations."<br />(google her blog and Scraptacularity for more.<br /><br />As for swaps with strangers, I'm not there yet. I am nervous enough about giving to people I know. :-) Good for you!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02568944733073812787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-3779031902759991522012-01-23T21:54:12.134-06:002012-01-23T21:54:12.134-06:00I love the little touch of raspberry.
