Sewing up Strips

I actually attempted some patchworking today – it’s not something that comes easily to me, but this technique was so easy that I had to give it a go! I spent an hour or so going through the fabric stashes and cut 6cm strips of pink/green/white/cream coloured fabrics. Was fun to watch the piece come together.

Now, big decision is what to do with it! I could add sashing to the sides and make it into a lap quilt, it could become a dolly rug, a tote bag, an apron, a bathmat, pillow covers, possibilities are endless!

Actually, thinking on that … it would be perfect as an apron, well used and loved. Plus, it’s all the colours I like so will make me smile as I wear it! Would have to fully line it so that the seams stay inside … but that’s very do-able … hmmm … food for thought!
