the wedge challenge

my very first wedge block looks ok if you hide the center xo

 very surprised how challenging it is....i was inspired here at  hyacinthquiltdesigns and  i am also loving  materialobsessions modern wedge

each one has finished up differently...and i managed to sew 26 wedges together instead of the required 24 ~ also needed to cut wholes in 2 of the middles to get them to lay flat ???? so i need to do a bit more homework cuz i am doing something wrong ~ good news is that i am squaring them up and adding borders.
the possibilities are endless with this block...i started out doing just a practice block with denyse schmidt fabric but i am in LOVE with how well it works for this pattern.

happy friday xo pam

be someone that makes you happy

a teeny tiny improv finish for sara...i love this ~ i was inspired by banksy on instagram ~ it was a quote saying "be WITH someone that makes you happy"  and  the WITH was crossed out

i LOVE this heart fabric for the back ~ i found it at ikea a few years back  ~ i have very little left in my stash ~ boohoo and woohoo ~ i love how it makes me sad and happy to use up my fabric stash xo
