The Twinkling Triangles Advent sew-along hosted by Melanie @mellmeyer is just one of the new projects/activities I started on Monday. This year, rather than make a quilt, we have the option of two pillow sizes or a wall hanging. I'm going for a 24" pillow.
This entire project will be paper-pieced, which isn't my first piecing language, but I don't mind it on occasion. Melanie suggested several palettes, and I've chosen to do mine monochrome in greens, letting the fabrics be randomly arranged. Here's the fabric I'm working with, all pulled from stash and just a bit from the scrap basket.
Anyway, the mystery begins today, and here is my first 'block!' I'm loving those greens together!
Oh, and there's been a bonus behind-the-scenes activity the last few days.... Our sew-along hostess, Melanie, had a little incident with her rotary cutter, and is currently unable to sew! So guess who's been helping just a bit, sewing ahead, and sending pictures of her blocks to Melanie so she can post them? Yup, me! It's been good, and we were able to chat over IG call (??) between her home in Germany and mine in the US. Fun times!
Oh, your greens look delightful together and I'm so glad you are able to help Melanie out while she recovers!!
ReplyDeleteThose greens are nice, and the background fabric is spot on! Fun that you can help Melanie out while she recovers (ouch!).
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about the 'incident with the rotary cutter', I've seen accidents of that sort happen, ouch. I hope she mends quickly and how wonderful to be able to help her out.
ReplyDeleteTwinkling Triangle Advent sew-along is a great idea. I'll enjoy following along.
