Hi Jen, yes was such a big task, i labelled and sorted before i started especially with the background fabrics so they wouldnt cross over etc.
LOL
Jenny - I think we are all different and work our own ways - whatever works best and suits what we are doing.
I must admit that I like to leave the pattern somewhere close so I can look at it - but have the cutting board free of stuff...then I pull out what I think I want to use and cut it,,,put it together and see if I still like it and them put that block aside (maybe in its own plastic bag or whatever) and go on to the next one.
You will work it out - look forward to your blocks!
Well I think this is what makes it so fun. Each month we are showcasing what fabrics to use in each block. I love that part of it. The backgrounds, I just followed suite with the pattern as best I could. 'Mess' is not in my vocabulary....organized chaos is what I'm talking about! LOL
yes to the mess... I find picking the fabrics takes me ages...
Hugz
you should see the mess I have.........goodluck.......
Hi Jen, and the answer is... YES!!!
YeS! Big mess. Don't worry. You are not alone.
Yes, I started off in one spot and that is still the "centre" of my creativity but still seem to have spread out over a few rooms in the house!!
