Fabric Polaroid Swap
After the Blog Hop, I joined several events - the first is the Fabric Polaroid Swap hosted by Kris at Duke Says Sew What. This is my first event where I actually send my work to another person. Can I tell you how nervous I am? I measured at least three times for each cut, pinned, and sewed slowly, hoping to show my best work. Three sides were only 1" - I checked and double checked the needle placement multiple times, and measured seams after they were sewn.
The instructions were to make no more than two of the same fabric. I chose as many fabrics as I thought would look good as "snapshots" and only duplicated 3. Well, truth be told, I made myself a complete set to mingle with the the ones I will receive.

I know how you feel! The first time I participated in a block swap I measured and measured and MEASURED!! I also did a fair amount of discarding. :-\ The polaroids look like fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know I am not alone in my concern! Sometimes I expect I should be more confident - I am in my skills but still worry when it comes to others seeing my work!

I love these little blocks! Polaroid quilts are the cutest. You chose some really sweet fabrics for the "photos." I love especially the red chrysanthemum print!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look sweet, Robin Sue! How fun to be involved in that swap. Looking forward to your showing off what you receive back!
