So here are five of the first six blocks. I chose not to make one (Block 3?) because it had too many pieces for me to manage in the small size. However, I may go back and make it later. These blocks are good practice for piecing accuracy and as mine improves, I am more confident in my ability to manage the tiny pieces. The biggest challenge is the build-up of seam allowances on the back.
I'm using fabric from my stash for this project, a mix of red and green Christmas prints and assorted backgrounds. I'm not sure yet what setting I'll use; I had a couple of ideas at the start but I've seen some interesting settings from other participants so am undecided now.
