That'll do, pig

I have a quicker-than-anticipated finish today!DSCF8965I need to make some class samples that I hadn't accounted time for, plus even though I have the Easter weekend coming up in which I plan to sleep, sew and go to a comedy festival (and maybe do a bit of cleaning), I have designated it to finishing off my BOM top and writing up the blog posts for it. If I am lucky I may do my EMMQG hashtag block, and make more progress on my dress but essentially I just plan to finish the BOM top.Since the shop could do with the samples pretty quickly as the first class is only something like 4-5 weeks away, something had to give and be finished quicker than I had planned in order for the list of stuff to go down. That thing was my UK mini swap mini.My original design was 64 HSTs with 64 bits of applique. After posting a WIP pic on Instagram and a lot of comments encouraging me to keep the appliqué at a similar level to the photo I went from this design: To this WIP:To the finished one at the top; a more minimal design with only 12 pieces of appliqué.DSCF8966Hopefully my partner will like it the way it is! One more thing crossed off the list... just need to buy some chocolate to include with it. It is Easter after all.STATSSize – 24 1/2″ squareNumber of blocks – 64 HSTsTime to make– About 4 hoursFabric – Rainbow scraps of all sorts!
