Sewing Room Friday, 10/6/23

In the last week, these are the blocks I have been working on, from a great pattern called Squarevoiyant by @quiltcakes. I used a stack of wovens and linens that I had on hand, and never quite knew what to do with. I liked this version of no sashing.

But in the end, I decided I liked the secondary pattern made with the sashing added. I had starched the fabrics before cutting and sewing, but still, so much unraveling! I like the ombre effect and the overall softness.

My striped fabric arrived and I auditioned it next to the Meadowland blocks. 

The stripes are perfect next to the blocks. I decided a break from the blocks to the border would be a good idea, so I auditioned a skinny black border and I really like it. I will probably use black for the binding as well. 

And then I started on these sawtooth star blocks. I pulled a stack of fall fabrics loosely based on the felt garland. They are all Pure Solids by Art Gallery Fabrics which, again, I have had for quite awhile. 

I'm going to use this beautiful Liberty of London print as the sashing. 

Last Sunday, I borrowed my friend's yarn winder. I thought Gabe might enjoy using it. He wound about eight skeins into balls for me--a huge help!

And that's it for the first week of October.
