I decided to go ahead and use fabrics from the bin of shame. They’ve been co-mingling in that bin for over a year now, so apparently they are happy together.

I’ve also decided that I will substitute pieced blocks in place of the letters spelling Welcome.

I hadn’t tried out this die yet and it was a good size.

I substituted a single piece of fabric for the center. I thought I was so clever using a stripe fabric for the thread. Until I finished the block and realized I had it positioned wrong.

Oh, well. It will stay like this. Moving along….

I pulled the pieces above out of a parts bin. So step one for me is now done.

Have a great day!
