First two CQJP 2015 blocks


I'm well on my way now and my foray into making ribbon trims is a resounding success and see them as a long term asset to my CQ.  I have mixed feelings about the beaded paisley and will post about it and how I plan to tweak my paisley plan  Haven't made a dent in the lace...

Block One

Block Two:

Here are both together....

    OK, you are having way too much fun. I'm still getting a few things for others off my plate (only 2 to go) and then I can work on my stuff. Yes! Definitely see some ribbon folding in my near future.

    Oh my, these are lush, lovely blocks. I agree with you that the paisleys are somewhat questionable for these blocks, at least at their current size/ visual weight. But they ARE gorgeous in their own right. Care package mailing out Tuesday... xxxx

    I love the ribbons! Can't wait to see the dyeing experiments.

    I'm having mixed success with my ribbon folding and weaving. Will post some photos soon.
