To have a year of 'less stress' we've each picked a 'book of blocks' that travels with a box of fabrics for each person. We make a few blocks for the person & hand it on.
My pal Lynn chose "3 D Folded Blocks" by Baron & Vermeer and once you catch on to the instructions, it's a blast!
The only stitching is around the outer edge of each block. The rest is cutting & folding with a nice hot iron! The blocks can get pretty bulky as there may be up to eight or nine layers (of folded fabric). It'll be fun to see what she does with the pile of blocks that will be heading back to her--she wanted a black & white theme with some brights to add some pizazz!
These were my additions--aren't they cool? Click on the pix to look closer.. |
