December 2016 Postcard Swap
#109
Betty J sent me a cute piece of "Happy Birthday" fabric with my postcard. Just wanted to share how I used it...
My Dad always says "It's not a birthday cake unless it's chocolate", so I used it to make a Happy Birthday Chocolate Cake block. It's my first time paper piecing I may go back and use a different cut of fabric for the top, so that the "happy birthday"s are vertical instead of sideways, but I'm pretty happy about how it turned out.

The bottom will look more like a plate once the seam allowance doesn't show. I might try to hand embroider a candle on top as well.
