It is fascinated how small pieces of cloth can do! I have always found them give endless possibilities and liberal process of patchwork. I love how linen provide the natural texture to it! It gives focus of individual cloth and lead the pleasure of touch and actually sewing as well!

ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I might just have to make some. I think I will wash the linen first, though, as I've heard it shrinks but have never sewn with it before. Your thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI love the texture of the linen, it looks great with your fabric choices.
ReplyDeletepretty.... always love linen, but quite expensive this day ... can't wait to see the final product...Chase
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen bee of tiny piecing. It's so pretty
ReplyDeleteI love this. I am concerned about the extra shrinkage too. I saw a pretty piece at the fabric store that was 50 cotton 50 linen and it was so smooth but a looser weave. I think it would shrink so much? not sure. thoughts??
ReplyDeleteTiny is certainly beautiful in your clever hands, Chase. Love, love, love these wonky star blocks - especially combined with Essex linen. Yum.
ReplyDeleteChase, this really makes me smile! For your readers with worries about cost and shrinkage of linen, I've had good luck getting preshrunk linen at affordable prices by buying thrift store clothing (largest sizes more fabric with fewer seams)
