Single Girl : piecing curves : Ring 1.

piecing curves. i had to slow this project down a bit. need to cut more background. lots of individual tracing. and individual cutting. then lots and lots of pins. and slow sewing. while removing all those pins. 15 blocks. but for today just Ring 1. next step was posted 3/7 - Katy's blog - i'm a ginger monkey - assembly.

Single Girl : piecing rings.

piecing rings. all done. without keeping each ring safe in its own baggie. and my coloring pages. i would be totally lost. i turned my twosies into foursies and then into rings. next step was posted 2/28 - Nova's blog - a cuppa and a catchup - piecing curves.

Single Girl : marking, cutting.

marking, cutting, (& a bit of piecing). i decided on the twin. so i need 12 blocks. to avoid each ring being identical. i did some coloring and made 5 different combinations. i am cutting 3 of each template times the 5 combinations. so i will end up with 15 blocks. in order to avoid the 31-baggie-thing. i decided to work in rings. each block has 4 rings. so i will only use 4 baggies. here there are. with a bit of piecing. it never hurts to get the next step ready. next step is 2/21 - Megan's blog - Lucy and Norman - piecing rings.

Single Girl : pattern, templates, fabric.

getting ready, making templates. they look so pretty before they get washed. would you believe that i always say goodbye to that lovely-new-fabric-sheen when i dump it in the washing machine. and i am always satisfied after it gets done. i used 2 heavyweight template sheets for the rings. i will need another for the curved pieces. i was pleased that with a little pressure the rotary cutter cut them on the straight edges. and scissors on the curved ones. although the pattern recommends 31-36. i will only be using these 5 fabrics. yet i am also thinking i might like to try a scrappy-charm-Single-Girl one day. next step is 2/14 - Katy's blog - i'm a ginger monkey - marking, cutting.

Ex-Ci-Ting!!
