My sewing room disaster area wasn't just from my quilt. I also worked on a child's sweatshirt:
Wow, that red is bright in the photo!
The little flags on the top of the sail actually stick out, because they were just too small to try and piece. Which actually made a really neat effect. I originally thought of putting a mast, but I was having hard enough time, I ended up simplifying it a lot! My mother pointed out I could have used freezer paper to make piecing together the tiny pieces easier. I may have to learn how to do this, if I attempt to do something like this again.
I debated about folding under a seam allowance, and attach the block with iron-on adhesive and hand stitching, but I opted, in the end, for iron-on adhesive and zig-zag on the sewing machine. Guaranteed not to come off that shirt!
