I spent the majority of today working on guild 'stuff'. I especially worked on another sample for the Fun with Fabric Focus Group...another flower.
This time I began with a small circle...
Which I made into a yo-yo by stitching around the edge and pulling the thread...
tight, securing it. I turned over the yo-yo...And took a small square, folding it in half and pinning it to the fabric partially covering the yo-yo. Once sewn down, I added a second square folded in half as shown...
And I continued to add squares folded in half...
Until the circle was complete tucking the last piece under the first piece. Once the first circle was completed and sewn down...
I added another round of folded squares. When finished I added...
Strips around the center folded flower. And finally I added triangles to each edge...
To turn the block on point.
The entire block was hand sewn. Now I have two samples for folded flower blocks. This one turned out much better than the previous block. I have one more sample to make and I'm not sure how easy this one will be. Stay tuned...
That's all for today...
Thanks for stopping by...
Talk to you tomorrow...
