One pic shows a bit closer up of some of the blocks. I did the blocks as a quilt-as-you-go, which was another learning experience as I've never done one before. But it was fairly easy.


Thanks for looking

Sort of started with a random shape piece of fabric placed roughly in the centre of the block and stitched it straight onto the batting and backing and then proceeded to progressively add pieces to it, covering up raw edges as I went. Sometimes I pieced 2 pieces together and then sewed them onto the block, overlapping the previously sewn piece on the block. Sometimes it was a juggle to fit the pieces in and cover the last remaining raw edge and I had quite weird shaped blocks until I trimmed it back to the block size.

Sorry if I'm not explaining it very well.
