Modern Tiles Sew Along — Week 2 — Sew ¼ of the Blocks

Let the sewing fun begin :)

Did you cut all your fabric or just a bit to get you started on the first block or two? I saw the first projects pop up on Instagram. So fun! I will link them further down…

The prompt for this week is of course to start sewing and take a pictures of your progress. Whether you work in blocks or sew all the units first… Just finish about a quarter!

This post is part of the Modern Tiles Sew Along! See all posts.

Task

This week’s progress

I love to work in batches when I do FPP – chain piecing style – I decided to finish all FPP units for our second week in this Sew Along.

The goal ist to finish a ¼ of the blocks – or any equivalent in sewing. Do whatever makes the most sense for your sewing style! Work in blocks, in units…

Finishing all FPP units probably brought me a bit over that goal line, but as I am not the biggest fan of applique, I now have enough leeway for next week’s task – finishing the applique units. An appearingly smaller goal but as big for me as the other ;)

A beautiful fabric pull inspired by Barcelona tiles – if I remember correctly from the stories ;)

And this masculine, modern but also very traditional version in grey and red. Love the picture idea too!

And a very bold design in contrast.

Isn’t it awesome to see all the different ideas? I am amazed with all your creative pulls and concepts!
