Summer Slow Stitch

Just a quick update on my Summer slow-stitch project!

Pairing 2 1/2 solid squares with low volume background fabric is proving to be a winner for a slow stitch project.   I start by making a bunch of single blocks.  4 of these are then joined together.  Once I've got 4 sets of 4, I join those together for a block of 16!  (Read more about the block and it's assembly.)



Ta da!


Plus I've got a pile of more single blocks done and am about ready to start assembling them into a 16 block.   

Joining everything together brings just enough challenge because of all the partial seams.  But dong these by hand is much easier than it would be by machine.


Have a wonderful day! Patty
