My first block for March, the String Block completed. Made with foundation piecing. So fun to sew. I found some pre-cut fabric at Tuesday Morning and wonder how it would look on my string block. When I finished the block, I thought, oh how interesting. Then I put the block down and a little while later happened to look upon it and thought how happy the colors were. I had extra fabric already cut up and I knew I didn't want to do the other foundation block with the same colors (why not, I'm not sure), so I decided to play with the extra fabric and came up with this doll.
The colors are happy to me.
Foundation pieced doll made from leftover fabric. I became overly ambitious having her hold some beaded wire that spelled out Peace, but it gets lost and may be distracting, so I will probably get rid of the beaded wire. I tried different designs with the beads and still nothing.
I was lazy about her back. I am really enjoying this block of the month by Craftsy and Amy. I am trying out new blocks that I may not have gotten around to trying for many years. I feel I've accomplished something but am not committed to making an entire quilt. I'm looking forward to trying out the next type of foundation block. So much fun!!
