Dear Hive friends,
Here's (I hope) a fun and stress-free block for which you don't need to measure precisely, unless you feel more comfortable to do so, of course. This block should not be fully wonky, just slightly "wabi-sabi".
I was inspired by a tutorial from Hive 2 posted last November. The tutorial is very well done and I invite you to follow the directions here to complete the project.
Here is my wish list for the construction --
-Fabric:
Please work around blue, green, gold, and orange.
Use solids, batik, and if you want to add prints, I prefer novelty with flowers and leaves.
-Layers: Prepare at least five layers of boxes. It does not matter if it is a square, a rectangle, or a mix of the two.
-Special request: Please add a thin, less than 2 inches, solid brown layer. Place it at any layer that looks best.
-Measurements: No need to measure the width, and no need to sew straight. Piece slightly wonky if comfortable with doing so. I appreciate imperfection!
Thank you so much for sharing your time and fabric stash for this project. I can't wait to see your beautiful blocks!
Marie
Hey Marie, is there a size you are shooting for?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay Kelsey, just saw your post.
ReplyDeleteNo minimum, just a maximum of 16" block, or 16.5" unfinished (as per rules of the game). Thanks for working on my special request!
