Back to Over the River and Through the Woods

Now that the sewing table is cleared for RSC blocks, fabrics and other stuff, I'm ready to work on one of my oldest UFO; Over the River & Through the Woods.

If you read this post, all the stitcheries are done. I decided to use all fabrics to make it scrappier. The fabrics where cut and set aside until I could sew again.

After dust cleaning and mopping floors, the weekend was spent making the star blocks that goes between the stitcheries. Each block measures 6" finished and there are six blocks in each row. They are small, but easy and fast to make.

 

Update: They are now sewn together and narrow borders between the stitcheries are added.

Photos taken inside on a cloudy day never work out very well. The colors in the first row look almost right, the second row and stitcheries look washed out. Sigh!

It's midweek and I have finished the 64 Flying Geese needed for the border.

I was looking for more matching scraps in my stash, but didn't really find much I could use together with the already chosen fabrics. There are a few to the right.

Next step is to trim the stitcheries, add the inner border and the outer Flying Geese border. It occurred to me I don't have backing fabric for this one. I have enough brown to make it scrappy, I think. I shall see...
