I've mentioned I've been doing this on the 'Today' thread, so I thought I'd better show you what I've been up to.
I bought the download pattern for this off Etsy. It's called 'Fine Lines' by Karen Griska. She's got several other ones I like but I picked this one.
The background fabric is a lovely dark navy...(spraytime)..but it's photographed really badly and it looks washed out.
Thirty blocks with three-quarter inch multi-coloured strips, at whatever angle you fancy. It's been great to use up lots of little strips of fabric.
I added all the sashing between the blocks....then, today I've been making up the outer border.
A bit of a faff, but luckily I was in the mood to get on with it.
When the strips were joined together it had to be trimmed down to 1 1/2" sections...then joined into longer strips to fit all around the sides.
Need to think of binding and backing...but for now it can stay as it is.
Sandra.
