While I was gathering fabrics for the border of the crewel embroidery wall-hanging mentioned in an earlier entry, I came across still another unfinished wall-hanging. This one was only about five years old - or maybe a bit older. Who knows?
I had planned to work on cutting the borders for the crewel piece, but since there were still a few fabrics to select for that one and since the border for the newly discovered piece needed only a one fabric, simple border, I chose to do that one.
Today's wall-hanging consists of hand-pieced blocks set in a background that is machine sewn. It may sound odd, but while I enjoy hand sewing intricate pieces (as in the blocks), straight seams make for dull sewing.
Here is the wall-hanging with all its borders completed.
The binding was also made today, and it has an appointment to be quilted in June. So it's well on it's way even though it has no name. Do you have any ideas?
I'm with you. Straight seams are very boring sewing. I think I have some of those blocks somewhere around here. They look familiar. Some day......Meanwhile, that looks great!
