Wee Witches

 The next project was a set of nine witches, but I quickly decided that three was a good size and I'm glad that I did.  I didn't have any fabrics that matched to make the witch dresses, so I thought how cute they would be in three different colors.  Picking colors from my rows was easy.  Picking something for the back ground and the brooms was just a little bit harder.
  The small parts made this one more difficult than I thought it would be, and I spent a lot of time ripping and re cutting parts. You'd think by now I'd learn to measure twice, but several of my cuts were off and soon my Wee Witches were looking more like Wonky Witches.  I finally backed up enough to straighten some cuts, ripping a few seams over and over until the triangles fit they way they should.  I'm pleased with the colors, but I think that if I do this one again I'll draw it out and paper peice it.  For being titled "Wee Witches" it really is bigger than I thought it would be as well, and I am so happy that the three look so good together. 
All sashed out and ready to be layered, quilted and finished off, this one is almost ready for a new home.  Time to put it aside and move on to the next project!
FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS DOES NOT ALWAYS GET THE DESIRED RESULT.  THINK FOR YOURSELF.
