My plan when I started to work on making my pieced letters was to use
You can see in the photo that not all of the letters ended up being the size I guessed they should be. No problem. I just added strips of background fabric between them – and at the ends. In some cases, like between the ‘n’ and the ‘e’ I trimmed the ‘n’ skinnier because I thought the 2 letters got lost touching each other. A thin strip of background helped define them better.

I also staggered where my letters sat – not everyone is on the same line! I just added strips of background either above or below the letter to move it’s position. This really helped in this word because of the hanging ‘g’ – I avoided the hanging by using a capital “I” and floating some of my other letters.

I plan to piece some more words around this block, and applique one too.

Try adding some words to your quilts. You just might LOVE what they have to say!

With Joy,
