Let the Lettering Begin!

I am slow to get started, 

but my letters for Lynne's Letter Along

have finally started to appear!

I've made letters before, lots of letters ~

but they've all been CAPITAL letters.

(check out my lettered quilts 

using the page link 

in my sidebar)

So my personal challenge with this sampler

is to make quasi-controlled lower case letters.

The letters themselves measure 3-1/2" tall.

With the background fabric all-around, 

the "blocks" measure just over 5-1/2"

(these will be trimmed when it comes time to piece it all together).

After working with large letters,

these smaller versions are a bit of a challenge ~

but I'm happy with the results so far.

(The colors are much more vibrant in real life

as you'll see once they're off the design wall.)

Lots of other things going on this week,

so it may be another few days before more letters appear here.
