The wrist is feeling really good again so I started quilting a little over the weekend and finished two of the Something New Sampler blocks.
Cathedral Windows from this excellent tutorial. I was mid-way through this block before I broke my wrist and worked on this for a few minutes every few days since. Fussy, fussy, but I love the effect:
Improv Curves from this fabulous tutorial. Not so smooth, but it'll do:
I also thought I'd share the two extra Sashiko blocks I made before I broke my wrist. Very happy with these!
Now I just have one block left to go in this fun sampler -- machine appliqué -- and, unfortunately, it is not going well right now. This one may have to wait until the cast comes off. :(
Fun projects. glad the wrist is feeling better!
