I will make 9 blocks i think and back with flannelet. I have seen others do patchwork in strips but I have opted for blocks because I don't trust that I could make the patches line up. Maybe when I have more confidence this will be the easier option.
I think choosing colours is probably the hardest part of making patchwork and I'm always amazed at how well different colour combos go together. Cross fingers my fabric choices work out as a whole.
We'll see soon enough :)
Good for you, it is always very challenging and exciting to start a new craft.
ReplyDeleteI started yestarday a patchwork quilt as well, but it is only my fourth so I am very new at it like you.
Read this, it is quite interesting:
