Here I am, the last day of the month, linking up with my own challenge. I really have sewn a lot this month, but I didn't get around to "Me Without You" until two days ago. I just kept tetter-tottering on what layout I wanted. I never really cared for the original designer's layout.
I drafted up rough cutting instructions. Yep, that is my pattern.
They came from this computer sketch I drafted. The blue squares indicate where the embroidered blocks would go.
I started cutting, sewing, and pressing...
... and ended up with these blocks.
The blocks are not all completed yet, but this is the direction I am headed.
This photo shows how much work is really left. I am also considering a pieced or applique' border. It is looking square right now, but I will make it into a rectangle.
I am using the cathedral window, fold back the curve and stitch it down method. That is why some of the unfinished blocks just have slits of blue color.
This is the designer's layout. I just wanted something different. This is my friend Shirley's quilt.
The Cathedral Window style blocks look great with your cute embroidered blocks Go You!

Congrats on maintaining the 100%. Since you are still working, that is an achievement! Those alternative blocks are so pretty and they work so well with the embroidery. It's going to be a lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteYour layout for the embroidered blocks looks lovely.
