When My DH cleaned out the garage he brought this old footstool for me to use for my back pain. At first I thought I'd run to the store & get upholstery material to cover it but then it occurred to me this was a perfect opportunity to use my stash & practice piecework.
Foot stool needs help!

I used the method of sewing around a square then cutting a x to get the HST's, &used glue sticks to get the points to match. I was very disappointed in the red bleeding 'cause it's the fabric that I used on DFIL's memory quilt. I guess that I wont put a white binding on it.

I also just cringe at the thought of the holes that the tacks would create in my work, although I do think that the gold tacks are pretty.
