When is summer over? Unless it's today, I probably will make that deadline! The converting a 12" block to a 7.5" block has not been without it's problems and thank you God for a seam ripper because mine is dull from all the taking out! I finally stacked my fabric and re-cut and started over with bigger pieces and had one come out a good size so I will be cutting my new pieces all off this last block I made. I haven't decided yet on the nose and eyes, maybe a satin stitch nose and button eyes and an applique mustache, sort of leaning that way but first I'll get the basic block done. It's the piecing that's making me suffer! I should have drawn it out and made it applique and I probably would have been done already, lol! The very first sample on I made is really small and was just too much trouble to be fun to make 15 more of that little piecing so I think I'll be ok with the pieces I cut last night. Might even look for some small white pom poms for a ball on his hat! Anyway, can't promise when I'll be done but it won't be very long I'm sure.
Well Swappers, Do you know anyone else with the enthusiasm to join us for 16 holiday blocks?? This is going to be one great gift or holiday decoration!
PS I'm totally lurking on SE's holiday block swap...my arm is bending!
