Here's my final project of the year, the Project Linus top. It's a cute design, but this isn't my best work. I hate paper piecing and tried to strip piece the center strips, but had trouble placing them correctly because the paper was too thick. A novelty stripe worked better in a couple of blocks. As a result, there are some pretty crooked center stripes. But it's cheerful and serviceable. I hope other people will try it.
Happy New Year to everyone--I hope it's long on whatever makes you happy, and short on the other stuff!
You are too hard on yourself - it looks just fine! I like the wonky stripes - I think they really give the piece character. Some child will love this.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Kay. Same to ya.
It's a cute little pattern and just think of the many "cuddle" hours it will give. Good on you. Jen
ReplyDeleteThat sure was quick! (And cute) I prefer the novelty strip... But those balls are usually less than perfect anyway!
