A start or maybe a hint of procrastination

So have made a start using a bundle of California Girl by Joanna F from Fig Tree Quilts then I found a scrap bag of Fig Tree fabrics.  Choosing Clivea from Cottage Garden Threads to outline - maybe some procrastination about starting the needle turn........ 😁

i understand completely about your procrastination of the needle turn....I'm right there with you sister!

Lots of cutting happening there!
Try some googling for needle turn - there are a lot of options out there, and I would suggest you start with the easier ones - like the hexies since they are nice straight lines and you can easily get the shape folded over the bit of cardboard. And a really fine thread is useful too...like Bottomline...try to enjoy!
