So now I find I’m already there, this enforced time of isolation and staying home has meant I have slowed, my mind is clearing and open to new ideas.
So this is what I am working on now. I acquired all these white or off white squares from a friend @merodybuglar who was collecting fabrics to make a postage stamp quilt. She was given these whites so maybe she doesn’t want white in her piecing. So I’m randomly piecing by hand, eye balling the small maybe quarter inch seam. These are then tacked down using Jude Hill’ s method of treating seams to be flat. I have really held and touched gently each of these squares. Mostly about 2 inches square. Larger ones were hand stitched over paper , to make octagons. Smaller ones or random shapes went into the wee joining squares.
The brown heart is from some ecodyed cotton , folded using origami technique and then cross stitched closed. Not meaning for it to go here but it does look good on the squares.
