I am so excited that I didn't get called into work today and could work on my Stay At Home Robin!
You can read about the project here and see my first block here. I enjoyed trying a new (to me) tool to make some circles to play with for step #2 and you can read about that here.
The next step was to add a 4 x 6 block to the left of the starter block. I added a B & W background block which I pieced from 2 scraps and then I had fun with the circles.
Now where are my tiny applique pins?!?
They couldn't be found, so I struggled along with the stitching with the thread getting caught on the pins. But I really enjoyed the hand work and the edges were lovely to applique using this technique.
Here is my step #2 block. The larger circles I had made didn't want to be on this block, so I am saving them for another step.
Thanks again to the wonderful comments (left on my step #1 post) by blog readers, which gave me some great ideas for other methods of constructing circles which I plan to use in the up coming steps...I just love blogland!
And here is my project so far...

ReplyDeleteI just love the way the swirly fabric plays so nicely with the circles. So cute! It will be fun to see how the rest develops.
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy! I love the baby circles!! They turned out soo cute!
ReplyDeleteIf you pin from the underside, your thread does not get caught in the pins...
