Patchwork Palooza #8

I spent a little bit of time yesterday starting the Patchwork Palooza Project (PPP??). I started with Block 8 as that was the most recent one. I’ll go back and do the others as I have time.

I pulled out the Art Gallery Natural Elements fabrics I bought at Quilter’s Hollow a few months ago. They aren’t the fabric pull I discussed when I first mentioned this project but I think they will look nice. Ultimately, the blocks are too small for the fabric pull since the two main fabrics are comprised of big blowsy prints.

I also added a lavender Grunge print I bought on a whim.

Talking about the fabric was the most exciting part as the sewing didn’t go well. Despite my years of experience and careful cutting this block came out terribly. I cut off all of the points. Even after I fixed it it didn’t look right. This is a write off and I’ll do it again. Maybe it can be used as the beginning of a improv piece? An improv piece that I slash up so nobody sees how terrible it is.
