This wasn't the first of my weft-faced weaves, but it was the first of the Twelve Months that I made. July. Red, White and Blue. It turned out rather well, so I continued. At the bottom of the photo is the beginning of August, which didn't turn out quite as well.
The sett on these is 7.5/inch, and I used regular embroidery floss as my weft. Gives a firm feel to the finished project. Haven't figured out what I'll do with them. They are about four inches wide, and around four inches in length. They would make nice little coasters, but I think I'll keep them as a hanging instead. They just look so pretty, I don't want to cut them apart.
This is the whole lot. January begins at the top left-hand side, and July is the top right-hand side. I used three shades of red for February. It's hard to tell in the photo, but while weaving the colors blended so well that I had a hard time distinguishing which was which.
