I need some backing fabric before I can sandwich a large quilt project so I decided to work some on my Lego blocks. This is my version using leftover 2 ½” strips and pieces. I have 12 blocks pieced and still have many pieces left so this quilt will grow some more.
I took a break to stiffen snowflakes. My 91 year old mother has recently finished crocheting 25 snowflakes. The directions give 4 options for stiffening them. I bought a bottle of “Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid” at Joann Fabrics. It is similar to white glue which was another one of the options suggested. I had to dip a snowflake in the liquid ( I thinned it some), squeeze it out and pin it flat on foam board covered with plastic wrap. I have only done half. I thought I would see how these turn out before I do the rest and it takes LOTS of pins. I’ll finish the others tomorrow.
My Mom made those snowflakes one year along with knitted red bells, covered the whole tree. I still have a few of the snowflakes and about 15 of the bells. I just love them.
