Pieced



A small patchwork block pieced from a shirt and a remnant of quilting cotton. It's a variation of Ohio Square, (a useful reference—McCalls). I enjoyed this bit of hand stitchery, inspired by a little book (pictured below) bought at Daiso.
Mine lacks the awe-inspiring precision of the original, but I felt encouraged enough by my first attempt to cut strips for another, choosing fabric that has a more crisp 'hand'… for better corner points.
And if I can overcome my fear of y-seams, the little hex bag is next on the list.
