Due to the dreaded Y-seams, I decided to hand-piece the week 12 block of Barbara Brackman's BOW Grandmother's Choice. The block is known as boy's breeches and Barbara chose it as a reference to how women's clothing has evolved over the past century. My color interpretation is rather literal, as I chose "washday" (scroll to the bottom to read about washday clothing) indigo for the breeches.
Once I finish the breeches, it's on to hand-stitching the binding on the Exotic Star quilt. IF I can get Moxie to give up her new favorite spot!
Linking up with Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching today - check out what other hand-stitchers are creating this week. BTW, check out Kathy's clever interpretation of Boy's Breeches!
