Faire la Bise

 

I took days to decide what to do my my Faire la Bise block. I wanted something fast and practical.

Disappearing ‘Flowers’ Placemats

Finally completed the matching placemats for my Disappearing ‘Flowers’ Table Runner. This time the nine patch is looking more ‘disappearing’. I placed the dark fabric where I’d be cutting into, so it ended up with smaller squares, hence the dark fabric is less overbearing. Looks much better .Smile
