 I've had a lot of hand stitching time lately and knocked out 4 new moons pretty quickly. I love studying them as I make them and seeing the interplay between the 2 colors in each moon fabric.  About every 8 blocks I like to put them all on the wall to see how they are looking. I LOOOOOVVVVVEEEE these blocks. I have finished 37 and have 35 more prepared to stitch. I haven't decided what I'm going to make with them. I might do a wall hanging or a big queen sized quilt...or both. I've got plenty of shibori fabric to cut more if I want. I could see making tons more of these. Each one takes a little over an hour to stitch so they go pretty quickly. I have to wear a reading magnifiers over my glasses to work on them so there is a bit of eye strain involved and I have to be careful about that and make sure I have good light. But they are certainly like potato chips, you can't stitch just one!

I love these but that seems like an awful lot of time in each one. "A little over an hour" is a lot in my book. LOL. 5/2/2019 07:40:03 pm
This certainly showcases your beautiful fabric. Puts a "spotlight" on them.

I'm interested in seeing what you end up doing with these. Each one is so different from the others - a great advertisement for shibori dyeing for sure! Comments are closed.
