Using Satin Ribbon

One of the things I sometimes do when piecing a block is to add wide satin ribbon across patches as I piece. Especially in blocks that are going out in Round Robins. These then provide a “mini-canvas” for people to show off their stitching.

As I am working my way through this section of the Peacock Wall Hanging, I have noticed how well Alison and Chris used that satin ribbon in the two DYBs in this section.

Here is Alison’s piece:

And here is the piece from Chris:

Both are similar but different, and both beautiful.
