Not always a good idea I suppose, but it's what I've always done. Part of the fun of the creative process is searching for stitching ideas that fit in a specific area and work with what I've stitched before. Your block is looking great and it was fun to see your idea sketch.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967244821561873554.post-11992294394570887482017-01-17T07:45:56.183-08:002017-01-17T07:45:56.183-08:00thanks for showing how you used the waste canvas. ...thanks for showing how you used the waste canvas.

I sew as I go because every time I try to plan a block, I wind up changing things so that it isn't the design I planned at all. I quit wasting my time planning. LOL I've never been able to follow anyone else's plan, either. I guess I just can't follow directions!
