SEW Hip! Mystery Quilt – Skeleton Leaf
As you know, my self imposed
SEW Hip! Mystery Quilt challenge
is NOT to buy any new fabrics or products
for the quilt blocks.
This means that I have be creative
when SEW Hip! throws curve balls like
Aquasol at you.
What is Aquasol?
Well, according to Google it is;
a) a water/waste treatment company
b) a fertilizer
c) a vitamin
Wha?!
Of course,
if you type in Aquasol water-soluble fabric;
You will in fact discover that,
Aquasol is a fabric that dissolves leaving
only your embroidered stitches behind.
Nifty eh?
BUT
my challenge stands,
so I had to think of something else to make
for this block.
How did that go?
Badly.
I tried to embroider a leaf but I got the colours
all wrong.
(boo!)
So…you haven’t made any leaves?
I have.
I crocheted some, and glued them onto
the SEW Hip! Quilt block.
(sigh)
You sound annoyed with yourself?
I am a little,
I really want to stick to my ‘use what I’ve got’ challenge,
but I also want a fabulous quilt.
(grrr)
So there you have it,
my last minute SEW Hip! Skeleton Leaf quilt block.
(Tadah!)

I would have been stumped by the aquasol reference too, Heidi! I like your inventiveness and addint crochet to your quilt is very ‘you’!!
I’m still going “wha?” over the Aquasol product…interesting. Your crochet leaves look great on the quilt blocks! xJosie
…although I said I wouldn’t buy new materials, I am very tempted by the Aquasol. Dissolving fabric has got to be fun, right?!
xh
Hi – Love the crocheted leaves – do you have a pattern for them or an approximation? I think I can figure it out if you don’t. Very creative…I thank you!
