Well, if my computer and blogger could agree how to proceed with a photo, this is where I would show you some vintage sheet charm squares (from my swap) that I hand pieced into pairs last night.
I have to admit that it went better than expected. I am still trying to figure out which of my thimbles work best for this. My good thimble (Roxanne) doesn't seem to work well for this, but it is a dream when I am hand quilting.
I pinned up a bunch more squares to practice on. I will start joining them into 4 patches when I get them all done. I figure that I can't do much of anything yet on a "real" project until a) payday comes (I need straw needles and maybe some 1/4 inch tape) and b) I know if I can pull this off well enough to even bother with something that is for a gift.
So, I will keep on with it. It isn't difficult so far and I enjoy having some hand work to do when I am just sitting. At best, I will eventually have a vintage sheet quilt for summertime. Love that idea. At worst, I will have a wall hanging for spring and summer for view when you enter my front door.
If I can get photos to post later, I will.
