It has been awhile since I have shared what I have been working on. This is a fairly new project--I think I am on Day 10 of making these Cartwheel Blocks. I saw this free block on 'Freshly Pieced' several months ago (I believe you have to purchase the pattern now). I downloaded and printed it and added that piece of paper to my "Things to Try" clipboard. I finally had a window of time to play around with it last week.
These were my first two blocks. I was hooked! Now I should clarify a few things. I shrunk Lee's pattern down by 60%. Her block (that is in the pattern) makes an 11 inch block. After the shrinking, my block is 7 inches. Also, I am foundation piecing these--I think her may be paper pieced.
This was the progress as of Sunday....
and here is the progress as of this morning! I haven't played around with the placement yet--this is just random. What do you think? I love it--but I will not be making any more dark blocks--I think there are enough of those and I have to spread those around. I have plans to make a total of 63 blocks--so I have about 20 more to go!
I am linking up to WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced!
