Siggy Blocks are FUN!

Just about a week ago, I plead guilty to not making any New Year's resolutions, and also to jumping right into the new year by joining Rachel's Modern Siggy Swap. Now here it is, one week later, and I have just about completed all my siggy blocks for the swap. I must say, using Rachel's tutorial, putting these cute little blocks together is a snap. But putting 101 of them together does take a little time! They sure make a pretty pile though...


I have a few of them totally completed with the underside corners trimmed and my signature on them, so I've been playing with different arrangements for the finished blocks.


They look pretty with all the same fabric, but I think they will be really beautiful when all 100 blocks are different, and have different signatures.


The fabric I used is called Peek A Boo Wavy Plaid in Aqua by Amy Bradley for Moda. I got a whole yard of it from Ronna at Grace Full Creations not too long ago, with no particular project in mind. I just knew the perfect project would eventually present itself, and thanks to Rachel, it did!


My handwriting is not the greatest, and writing on fabric makes it even worse, but it will be nice to have a quilt made with 100 hand signed blocks from creative people all over the world.


I took these pictures at night in my basement, but the auto flash on my camera never came on. I'll let you in on my secret for good light in my next post, but here's a hint - it was a Christmas gift from my sweet husband!

And don't forget to sign up for my 500th post giveaway. #500 is coming up very soon!

Happy Stitching!
