Work in progress. The ladies at my J-club want to try ITH quilt blocks but most are limited to 140mm x 200mm hoops. So, I've been fiddling with the blocks that I digitised for my "bodger's dream" quilt. They were 230mm square and I thought they might be too fiddly if I made them 140mm square. Well, I was wrong! If anything they look better. Apart from the one which had manky edges - I used a pincushion outline on that one rather than throw it in the bin!<br /><br />
I hope they will enjoy making these at our next meeting.

Sue, having no idea what the term bodger means I went to check, This is what I found-<br /><br />
An unorthodox hobbyist or artist whose body of work has been hobbled together from garbage or materials used in ways that deviate from their intended pupose<br /><br />
This made me laugh-<br /><br />
You can commonly find bodgers in their natural habitat: hardware stores, dumpsters, and junkyards. <br /><br />
I would add fabric stores too, I think I have a bit of bodger in me
Also Anyone who creates objects from a mishmash of found or improvised materials

That is my definition too. Welcome to the club!
Actually, here in England it also means a traditional chair maker which seams to be the opposite!

The smaller size makes the fabric pop out so you see the design. I'm definitely a bodger. Sue, your talent is sew awesome!
I inherited quite a lot of fabric from my Aunt Jeanne, bless her for love and kindness. I'll enjoy trying ITH quilt blocks and pass them onto my cousin. He will enjoy the memories too. Thanks for the inspiration!

I don't believe you've never tried! They are so much fun and quite addictive so be careful...
