Sometimes the smallest things can bring you so much joy... Last weekend I was playing with some fabric scraps and decided to make a spool block, which has been in my mind for some time. I used the instructions from the book Liberty Love. Though I made a little mistake and ended up making it narrower, but I still liked my block very much that I made it into this itty bitty quilt. It is so tiny! (it only measures 6X5 inches). However, I think that what it lacks in size it makes up in personality. I think it is super cute. It now hangs in my sewing room and it makes my heart sing every time I look at it. So it got me thinking... this is exactly what life is all about: always appreciate the little things and love what you do.

That's a co-incidence! I've made some little spool blocks to use as coasters in my sewing room! Just the binding to do! Yours must look really cute on the wall - how did you hang it up? For me - making something small does give me a sense of achievement in that at least I've made something - especially this year when I don't seem to have made much!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely Martha!
ReplyDeleteThis is a super cute block. I keep wanting to make spool blocks, but haven't yet. I guess I need to move it up the list on my quilting to-dos!
ReplyDeleteReally, I agree - your new block looks so cute :)
