It's been really fun experimenting with colors outside my usual color palette.

And as a bonus, you don't have to try to pick out those bits of paper that've been sewn in so tightly. (So if you sewed the top left to the top right, you can peel off that strip of paper from the seam allowance on either side, then do the same when you piece the bottom left to bottom right. Then none of that paper is in the way when you put the top and bottom together.) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
