Sew & Tell Friday #26

This week I've been sewing my pinwheel blocks that are {gasp} several weeks behind.

That didn't leave much time for other projects.  But I wasn't about to miss participating in Sew and Tell Friday!

With leftover fabrics from the Feeling Groovy quilt, I made a mini for AAQI.  This is a much smaller, much easier version of a peace sign ;-)  You'll notice that the fabric placement is reversed:  here the peace sign is in purple batiks and the background is the various colors.  

I tried some new techniques:  the peace sign is reverse applique, and I used a glue stick on the back instead of fusible web.  I zigzagged with a variegated thread on top.

Here is the back.  You can see I had purple thread in the bobbin.  I like the way the peace sign stands out on the back.  If I had used the variegated thread in the bobbin, I'm not so sure the peace sign would be visible.  I also machine stitched my binding using a zig zag stitch.

Head on over to Amy's place for all the Sew and Tell Friday posts.

Have an amazing day!!!
