Sewing therapy


I was finally able to spend some time playing in my sewing room yesterday. Now that the Farmhouse Stars top is done I allowed myself to work on a couple of things.  I added borders to a recently past Saturday Sampler, and I made my 2 blocks for the current Saturday Sampler.
 
Each month we're doing 2 variations of a block. I've chosen to use my stash of black and whites and my stash of bright batiks. This month I pulled a couple of purples from the batik drawer. And I'm choosing to make mine a light/dark variation. One block will have more white and the other block will have more black. 
 
When lining them up together, I do notice that the black print I used this month reads a bit more grey than the previous ones. But that's OK. This will be a scrappy project. And now that I see them all together, I'm thinking that next month needs to have orange in it.
