I, and apparently most of my Bee Sewcial @beesewcial beemates, were pretty keen on the prompt Felicity @felicityquilts set out for us this month, and were making their blocks faster than I'd ever seen - haha!
There were several components:
- Composed of white/light cream fabrics of a variety of substrates if possible
- Most seams sewn with black or charcoal thread
- At least one seam sewn with neon or brightly colored thread
- At least one seam sewn on the front of the block with raw edges showing
- Added texture on the front through a small section of fabric manipulation
Fun, right?? For my first block, I created an area of diamond pin tucks, as well as the other requirements, and the finished block measured 12" x 13".
For my second block, 13" x 13", I included a few twisted pin tucks in addition to the black/neon threads and exposed raw seams.
Here are the blocks together....
Well that was indeed an enjoyable and low-pressure prompt, and of course, I'm loving seeing the other blocks folks are making as they respond to Felicity's prompt. That's always half the fun.

Your project reminds me of pogagi, the Korean patchwork technique which uses flat-felled seams. The tucks and twists are a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteCreative ideas! I always enjoy your Bee group prompts and blocks!
ReplyDeleteI would be drawn to working on this prompt, too! Your blocks (as well as the others I've seen on Instagram) look like they will be fun for Felicity to put together.
