Back at the beginning of this year, a strange phenomenon took hold of the quilting world - the economy block. I took note, but did not participate, basically because all of my pretty fabrics were bigger fussy cuts than the finished 5" paper pieced block everyone was using! I knew I would economise eventually,I just needed the time and the right size. Yesterday, the time arrived and I got the size sorted........ So I started cutting. And today - this happened.........
Ahuh. I is addicted! 24 of these9" beauties put together in around four hours! Winning!
These babies aren't paper pieced! They're a lovely mix of triangles and a fussy cut square. And I adore them.
I have pulled out tonnes of fabric, and all my favourite prints for fussy cutting.
And I will be back here tomorrow to share a little old tutorial with you! Who is going to come back??
I'm linking up @ Freshly Pieced - You can too!
