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!
I would be dreading the y-seams even if I was hand piecing! Really must learn how one of these days.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to hand piece this block! I love that photo of all the supplies ready and the project all organized...makes me want to pick up my stitching and get off this computer!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
Moxie is beautiful!
