I’ve been revisiting old themes lately, as I haven’t had much time to sketch amid various other commitments. These things happen. I don’t stress about it… I just make sure when I do have time to sketch, I do as much as I can so I have some spare designs to show, just in case.

This is a design from the ‘windows on the world’ series that I posted a few months ago (sketches #53, #54, #55, #56, #57 and #58). I’ll keep coming back to this idea, because I just love the versatility of such a simple design.

I think to make this one, I’d work out a way of adding half-rectangle triangles directly to the 2×4 rectangles. Or maybe paper-piece them for accuracy.*

 

*having said that, I just tried foundation paper piecing for the first time yesterday. It took me the better part of 5 hours to make a simple 12″ block! And I still haven’t removed all the paper. I love the idea of FPP in theory, but I’m not sure I love the reality as much as I thought…
