I've been sewing in bits and pieces lately. I finished up a swap with a pretty neat sewing machine set, but forgot to take photos of the finish before I popped it in the mail. I made another flat cap. My happiest sewing were these Economy blocks for Melanie for the small Australian must.stash bee.
She requested 5" finished blocks inspired by some of the gorgeous examples popping up on Flickr in the last couple of years. Aren't Robin's projects and fabric collection awesome? We are using Rita's Economy Block tutorial for the bee, though I fudged the center layer cutting method a bit for the stripes and plaids.
I hope I can make her one or two more before the month's out to send her way. Economy blocks have been a bit of a craze in the last few months. Have you been making them too?
happy crafting, amy badskirt.
Wonderful blocks! :)

Oh, they are so pretty! The remind me of summer and basking in the sun. Toronto hasn't had any of that in forever...thanks for the little pick me up!
ReplyDeleteI really love that first economy block. Almost you convince me to make some! If only I could find some time :)
