I've been working on the Christmas swap blocks I got from my Bee, that had been sitting almost a year. I'm glad to say - I've made a lot of progress!
I've sashed the nine blocks I'll use in the wall hanging. although I met a challenge head on when one of the blocks stretched because I had handled the slashed border too much. Got out of that one!
I laid out all the blocks before I started, so I felt okay joining them as I went along. But after I got them all assembled I noticed some things I could have done differently. Oh well, it passes the galloping-horse-at-50-feet rule, so I'll let it stand as is!
Now I just need to put on the bottom sashing, and decide on an outer border. It won't be very large because the hanging is large enough already! Maybe next time we'll swap smaller blocks, eh?
So that'll be two UFO's done already, I'm averaging one a month! Gotta make a UFO list...
Sew forth and sew on til later
Galloping horse at 50 rule? Too funny. Never heard of that before. The hanging is lovely.
