Pinterest Challenge: March

I've been pretty slack on the Pinterest challenge this month with all these new ideas popping into my head and not enough hours in the day to do them all, I've not really been lacking inspiration or felt the need to try something that I've pinned.However, there are a few techniques that have come in handy this month that I have pinned, and here's where I'm at with them!This hand piecing tutorial does have a vital part missing (how to tack the corners down!) but I have been putting together lots of inch hexagons when I've wanted to slob out in the living room and even when I went on holiday for something to do and I plan to make them into a 12" block. After that, who knows, maybe it will become the centre of a cushion cover? I'm being weird and stitching them in as I go (and removing the paper when they are "landlocked" because I can't bear the idea of doing each step all in one go!)Binding!  Proper binding, lord knows how many times I've got it wrong in the past and hand stitching it on is definitely a must for me now.And lastly, that hedgehog block you've seen recently is from Artisania. The one I pinned is by Quirky Granola Girl using the same pattern. See my last post for a picture of my version.So that's the round up, it's been a bit sewing orientated but I hope you don't mind. If you are that way inclined, check out Lucy's fabric swap linky party - I've done a trade with her so I hope she likes it! I've not got anything I really want to swap right now, but if you have pretty fabric that is just getting a bit boring to you now, go check it out- you might be able to swap for something lovely!
