Sew Fresh Quilts, Blackbirds
« on: July 22, 2023, 12:26:36 PM »
This is what I am in the process of making.

I’ve been at this point for several weeks, but I can’t seem to make my mind up. Should I do the between bits in the same blue background as in the pattern, or not. I think I’ve decided to do that.

Now I just have to get my knees to let me lay the pieces all out.

I’m thinking it’s a bit dark. And a bit big.

Unless I make two smaller ones instead.

Oops, in order to post pics I need to renew my subs. Be back in a bit.
