Sew & Tell Friday #26
This week I've been sewing my pinwheel blocks that are {gasp} several weeks behind.
That didn't leave much time for other projects. But I wasn't about to miss participating in Sew and Tell Friday!
With leftover fabrics from the Feeling Groovy quilt, I made a mini for AAQI. This is a much smaller, much easier version of a peace sign ;-) You'll notice that the fabric placement is reversed: here the peace sign is in purple batiks and the background is the various colors.
I tried some new techniques: the peace sign is reverse applique, and I used a glue stick on the back instead of fusible web. I zigzagged with a variegated thread on top.
Here is the back. You can see I had purple thread in the bobbin. I like the way the peace sign stands out on the back. If I had used the variegated thread in the bobbin, I'm not so sure the peace sign would be visible. I also machine stitched my binding using a zig zag stitch.
Head on over to Amy's place for all the Sew and Tell Friday posts.
Have an amazing day!!!
