Good work Thanks for showing these.
Thanks Mrs. B. I look forward to seeing yours. I have been experimenting (in the class I made the ATCs for) with painting fabric, but these were all made from blocks that I had made a while ago and never used. I had been trying some D9P blocks but didn't love them, so I decided to use them for the ATCs. Then I appliqued the hand design on top and I chose that particular fabric because it looked like finger whorls and palm lines in skin.
I did like finishing the edges with a simple zigzag stitch instead of traditional binding. I like the rough and primitive look of it, and wow, was it quick!
