Progress on my sashiko project

 I have spent some time on my sashiko project. Had my brain working.

No. 3. Chookshed challenge is in full force. 

I have spent some time calculating cutting and placement. The pattern we received when doing this class was only a guideline. There were no definite measurements. So I finished the stitching, ironed and trimmed, then calculated the sashing and worked out the missing blocks.


And everything is cut ready to sew together 


I am excited to get this sewn together. It’s now together and I have these hexagons ready to stitch on.


So they are glued on ready to stitch


The baste it glue works well


Hand stitching the hexagons on.


Linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching.

I have just finished stitching all the hexagons.

You’ve done wonders this month, taking just a bunch of blocks and working them into a gorgeous quilt. A great start to the year.
