Split Herringbone Blocks

 I have been hard at work this last week and have manged to complete some some of my blocks


Blocks F, S, P and M

Foundation piecing is super quick once you get into a rhythm - I had two mishaps where I sliced off the wrong part but I learnt from it (ok so it took me doing it twice but I got there in the end) and I was super careful after that!





There is a butt tone of waste that goes with this method.
This is just from trimming to the right size! 
Not sure I'd be ok with all this waste regularly, it made my heart hurt putting those scraps in the bin!

I had already sorted the small bits that could possibly be used for something else - and when I say possibly I mean probably not (some aren't even 1'' big)

I did use some of them in two blocks - one is in the block picture above.
