I'm still waiting to receive blocks back -- in fact, I'm fairly certain I will get most of them when I drive to another state for a birthday party (assuming I get the car fixed enough to do just that) -- but I have a whole pile of options ready to go. I've been making blocks like there's no tomorrow.
Honestly, I love foundation paper piecing. It's easy to interrupt. It's usually small. It's quickly rewarding -- at least with the pieces I take on. And now that I've started, I don't want to stop.
A fox, from my husband to the niece.
A sloth, from my kid to his cousin.
A pig, probably from me to the niece.
A snail, not paper pieced, not perfect, but I still really want to include it.
A bird, which I thought was from the kiddo, but he chose the 'bubbles' (which based off pointing, was the sloth). So this one is unclaimed too, but sitting in the pile to see if it is needed to help balance out the top.
A penguin. Also unclaimed. But how cute!!
A semi-pirate-ical looking cat, from my cat to the niece (why not?).
A moose block (needing some hand work still) from one aunt and uncle to the niece.
I'm having a blast. Do they work with the sashing fabric? Ummm... probably not. I think I might have to add a white border around each block before the pink gingham.
Can't wait to get more. Or make more. But I'm trying to make myself work on other things instead.
Update: Turns out, even though no one has contacted me, no one else has finished at all. They are thinking they'll each be finished with their single block in time for me to give this as a Christmas gift. Are they aware that Christmas this year is happening at Thanksgiving? Who knows. But I guess I might as well shelve this one for a while.
End of Update
