Six blocks to share with you and I have had lots of fun today :) I re-did the two 'test run' blocks and they came up a perfect 7" as did the next four ... YAY!! After much um-ing and agh-ing over what fabrics to choose, I have decided on a mixture of scraps and existing stash - pinks, whites and greens :)
#1 Attic Windows:
#2 Autumn Tints:
#6 Big Dipper:
#10 Bowtie:
#12 Broken Sugar Bowl:
#14 Butterfly at the Crossroads:
And all 6, which is your favourite?
Come back next Friday to see the next six :D
Gorgeous! I can't wait to see the next round!
ReplyDeletethis is going to look lovely when its finished.
ReplyDeleteThank you both, you're so sweet, I love love love reading your comments :D
ReplyDeleteI am loving your blocks. You have really pretty scraps and they look so good together! I have had my eye on this book for awhile, but decided it was too involved. I like your take on it - I may need to rethink my decision! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen - I'm definitely making it manageable otherwise I'd give up (nearly did on Wednesday!) and I don't like triangle templates so worked out what a half square triangle measurement would be and went from there ... I'll add some tips as I go from next week but I just wanted to get on and sew yesterday :)
ReplyDeleteYour color choices are awesome! I too decided to try my hand at it. So far I only finished one block but thoroughly enjoyed making it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colette, it's lovely of you to comment. I have set myself a little target of 6 a week but some blocks are definitely more tricky to make than others. I'll hopefully do another post tonight - hope you keep going :)
