Around the Block - October

I am participating in the Around the Block Swap, which involves making patchwork blocks for a participant, from fabrics that they have sent to you. For the month of October Louise requested 12.5 inch blocks,  and improvisational piecing without any wonkiness.


Phew! Wonkiness is hard for me!  These blocks were a lot of fun to make; pieced without  any pre-planning.  Just plain fabric play.



Louise supplied the fabrics, most of which are from Heather Bailey's Pop Garden range, and I adore each and every one of them. I love how these blocks turned out and was quietly surprised by how much I enjoyed the improvisational piecing!
