Such a GREAT IDEA!
These work so well when sewing a block. You can lay the entire block out, and keep the pieces organized while taking them to the ironing board, too.
I was thrilled when Lori did a tutorial on how to make her Mini Design Boards.
See Part 1
and Part 2
The mini design boards work especially well when sewing blocks for the Farmer's Wife Quilt Along.
I now have 6 blocks all ready to be sewn sitting by my machine.
You can make six 10" X 10" design boards with one piece of *foam core board.
*I found mine a local dollar store.
Everything else was made with scraps of batting and fabric.
Total Cost of project: $1
Can't beat that!
You can make these in any size.
Lori is always so organized has the most useful tips for time saving techniques. I love to sit next to her like a sponge and soak up information.
The boards do not have to have the fabric trims, but as Lori said "Anything worth making is worth making cute."
That describes her to a T.
Thanks for reminding me to get some foam core board for these. I need some. Any excuse to use fabric when making something useful I say.Yours look very neat and pretty.
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea. I usually pile my blocks onto plates, but they don't stick and often end up on the floor! Thanks for sharing this one Nedra. xo
ReplyDeleteI love those design boards...I should make some sooner than later...
