Today's playtime ...

... resulted in this block which is a variation on yesterday's.  It uses 14, yes 14 different fabrics.  I love it.
I made it by cutting strips from different fabrics, sewing them together and then sewing them into a tube, cutting rings from the tube and opening them up at various places on the rings and then slicing and inserting them.  I really had fun with this.

  1. Sorry. Did I just read that you used FOURTEEN fabrics?? Sue?

  2. To Scrappy - yes, Sue told me on the phone earlier that she'd used FOURTEEN fabrics and I nearly passed out with shock.

    Looks rather good though :-) You've been a tremendously bad influence on her, congratulations! Hope we can meet one day.

    1. Jane, Sue used the words 'scrappy' and 'random' in the same sentence yesterday so I reckon the prognosis is promising!
