WIP Wednesday - Economising

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.
