These challenges are so much fun. I never know where they'll take me. My first thought was to piece together a mug rug. I even had the design in my head. But as I hit the sewing room, I discarded that in favor of an appliqued postcard. I dug through my scraps until the right color combo came along. It seemed too plain, so I fussy cut some leaves and flowers.
My prior postcards have had square set binding. I decided to try mitered corners on this one. Would you look at that? They came out nearly perfect. I wish my normal-sized quilts came out so square! (Although I'm not showing you the back - the corners are not so pretty.)
I love it!

That is cute, Sally! I love the leaves and flowers - they really added a lot. Do you put something stiff inside the postcard to make it sturdy, and do you send them to people? That would be a fun thing to do!
ReplyDeleteThe birdhouse postcard is so pretty, Sally. Love the birdhouse fabric and the flowers and leaves complement it perfectly. A terrific finish!
