Today's block for my wee challenge is an Apple block.
Back in May I started a Lockdown quilt, something to commemorate this year. I've done a little on it from time to time and had lots of ideas for it way back then.
As it was autumn during lockdown, it needed an Apple block.
It all went well this afternoon, until I realised one of the scraps I'd used had a small cut in it!!
This was a foundation pieced block so there was no easy fix. It would have meant no block for the day if I'd had to remake it.
I considered stitching a wee grub or worm over the cut but didn't trust myself to come up with something that looked halfway like it was supposed to!
Instead, I carefully removed the piece of fabric (haha don't forget foundation piecing is sewn at a short stitch length so this was a mission!) and cut another at a similar shape and size —
'til next time,
happy stitches,
happy stitches,
Sew annoying but after the remake your Apple looks fantastic!!!
ReplyDeletegood idea on the red and it turned out so well - no one would know the repair work was there
ReplyDeleteKudos to you. I have worked with foundation piecing, and its smaller stitches, enough to know that was no simple task. I am afraid I might have scrapped it and made something simple to check the day's block off my list. You showed patience and tenacity and your repair looks great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a yummy looking apple--you did a great job with the fix--
