So, you have big pile of 4 1/2" squares left over from a long distant project and you realise these would be great utilised for a Christmas gift. Afterall, the colour choosing and cutting is already done for you!
Do you:
a) make a simple square patchwork which you could probably knock over in an afternoon, quickly crossing off one gift from your Christmas making list or...
b) let yourself dream a little too long about that hourglass block you've always wanted to play with and dive into chain piecing (all four sides),...
...cutting...
...pressing, piecing, pressing...
...trimming...
...and sewing, thereby adding an extra seven or so steps to your process and rendering your blocks even smaller than the original squares?
Well, of course I chose B! Though now I am wondering if I'm completely ridiculous. They are very cute blocks, though, don't you think?
What about you? a or b?
B!! They are very cute..
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful blocks! But yes - you're completely bonkers! lol
ReplyDeleteC - call my friend Jodi G and hope she knows what to do :) Do love the blocks you made :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute blocks - lovely and bright too:)
ReplyDeleteB sounds exactly like something I would do! Then I would have to cut more! Lol!
ReplyDeleteB, of course. The smaller they are, the cuter they are.
ReplyDeleteOof. I'm "a," but I aspire to be your "b." Those blocks are cool.
ReplyDeleteoh they are super cute so glad you took the longer adventure lol
ReplyDeletea because Im lazy! Impressed you went with b though and they look great! Also loving your rotary cutter!
ReplyDeleteThe fastest way is not always the best way ( although sometimes it is :)) . B
ReplyDeleteThey are totally adorable though! I probably would have chosen C: set them aside for another day, lose them under a pile of other unfinished projects and then finally finish them in 6-9 months when I unearth them in a frantic cleaning spree :)
ReplyDeleteI would have done the same, and you are following your dreams, not being crazy! I loooove the end result :-)
ReplyDeletethe end result was lovely!
ReplyDeleteextremely cute!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably make a small project out of B and save the rest for A. Love these little blocks!
