Chookshed Challenge June

 And I have been looking forward to my #5!


Way back in the mists of time, possibly pre blogging as after a quick flick back I can find no sign of them, I made these Japanese Folded Squares. There was an article in my Quilters Guild magazine showing how they were made and I used some of my procion dyed fabrics. 

I think now that my original intention was to join them together at the corners and mount them onto a black background. But now my plan is just to sew them together and use them as a wall hanging in my kitchen. I am two short of a 7x7 but I think I might make more so that it becomes a rectangle. Fortunately I had the foresight to keep my templates so I have not got that to figure out.

So watch this space for my progress in June and thank you Deana.

  1. The fabrics are such pretty colours. It will be good to finish it so you can show it off.

  6. Just wondering how you make these. Do you sew 2 circles rst then turn out before folding over a square fabric
