\"Tale<\/a>
Tale of Two Cities, No.9 (top) & No.8 (bottom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had these two blocks mostly cut out before I went to Grand Parlor, but didn’t get around to sewing them until last weekend when, after finally getting my sewing mojo back, I worked hard at avoiding the Petrillo Bag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are the next two in the crosses section (Blocks 1-15 of the City Sampler Project). No.9 doesn’t much look like a cross, but No.9 makes me think of a Maltese Cross.<\/p>\n

I, unintentionally, used pretty subtle fabrics in No.9. It will be one of the blocks that gives the viewer a reward if s\/he comes closer.<\/p>\n

I like the way No.8 looks on point and wonder what kind of secondary design the block would make if I made a lot of them and set them right next to each other? Of course, it depends on the fabric. I imagine NOT putting background fabrics in the corner would be key, but I really can imagine how it would look.<\/p>\n

\"Tale<\/a>
Tale of Two Cities, No.10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I usually cut out the fabrics in sets of two, but my design wall was crammed with Russian Rubix blocks, so I did No.10 as a single.<\/p>\n

It is also subtle and I had to take the photo a couple of times to make sure I got the piecing. the center is Art Gallery fabric and I just love the feel and the color.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
