Fandom Block 4

Block 4: Tenth Doctor

8 * 10

I happy with how this one turned out.I wasn't sure if all the little wispy bits of hair would work but I think it looks good!

I used Heat N Bond to cut out the shape and stick it to the background fabric and then I free motion quilted over the top. I had some tension issues which is why you can see little bits of light blue tread (that serves me right for not changing the bobbin!) but I quite like it, I think it looks like stars - at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Fandom Blocks 2 and 3

Block 2 

7 * 10

This one is pretty self explanatory. I'm English = Union Jack.

I actually made this block when the Olympics was held here in 2012, but I didn't do anything with it, so it's just been stuck in a draw for a few years.

This isn't a 'true' union jack BTW the real one is like the one to the right but the fact it's not symmetrical drives me bat crap crazy so to stop me losing my mind I changed it

Block 3

8 * 8

Imagine by John Lennon will forever be one of my favourite songs ergo it would be totally wrong to exclude it.

Fandom Block 1

So after ages of looking online I thought I should finally start sewing something!

I wanted my first block to be embroidery - because if I totally sucked at it it would put a rather large crimp in my plan!

I chose this great picture (from FireFly)

I really liked the simplicity of using words from Jaynes Song and the shape of his hat.

So heres my attempt.

I think I did pretty well considering it was the first time I tried to do something like this. 

My consistency sucks so some of words look better than others, hopefully I will get better!

unfortunately I cut the fabric before I thought about what sizes my blocks should be so construction wouldn't be a bitch so this is an odd size of 9*11
