All my Morrell blocks have now come together - yay!!
What a nice treat for Mother's Day.
It was difficult to photograph but I'm not going to complain about the lovely Autumn sunshine this morning.
Now to make the borders from red and cream (same as background fabrics) triangles. These will be machine pieced using the freezer paper method. Its fun getting out all the scraps of red fabric that were used in the blocks.
Someone kindly gave me the border freezer paper from the classes we originally took with Di Ford at Kaye's 'Needles and Pins' in Warrandyte.
I think it was Dorothy? Anyway, many thanks.
