I've been working on a small piece made from shot cotton. The above pic is from the back against the light, so you can see all the gaps I've left! Each block is 6 inches square.
Oakshott did an offer for their sample packs and I got my hands on the Lakes pack - lovely blues with a bit of green and purple. It was fun squeezing the pieces out of a five inch square. I used every scrap. The white and brown pieces were from stash.
I used my usual method of drawing on a piece of Incompetech graph paper - this one is on Polar graph paper. I found the best way to get round the complex curves was to cut the seam allowance really fine and let it stretch. Easy with a closely woven fabric.
I wish you could see the colours. About to finish it off with some hand quilting.
In haste so I can link up with Life Under Quilts -and WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
You are amazing! I love this - the colors, the shapes, the whole thing.
