New Quilting Bee, August 2017
#51
Anne, I'm the same way, use what I have. I've used out of my stash for the Bee, and am doing two block of the week projects, and have used out of my stash too. So far, so good..lol I may have to fudge on some of the blocks, kinda running low on a couple pieces....maybe the blocks will end before I do.. I hope hope hope...lol
Oh gosh, TSC - not's that good. Do you have a place you get your Featherweight products? There's a site on Facebook called April's Featherweight - if you do a search on FB, you'll find it. I am using my Featherweight to make one of the BOW projects, the blocks, and fabrics just 'required' that I use my FW..lolo It's such a fun machine to sew on.

I like these two blocks too much not to try them. I might give it a go this weekend. I will have to use a different machine because I was messing around on my Featherweight the other day and actually broke the gib hook
What a drag, I didn't think I could break something on that machine.
I also started another quilted wall hanging, it will be another bargello. I was so happy with the one I made for my living room that a couple of jelly rolls came home with me:-) ...and I really need to finish weaving the cloth for my guest room curtains. So many projects and that dratted job just gets in the way! LOL
I just love the blocks that have been posted so far this month, just makes me itchy to sew.

OK, Just finished the new block, "Plaid." I think my rendition is butt ugly, but it will tie in with the fabrics in my other blocks. Here are my three blocks:

Rookie question time: I am looking at the Jack in the Box block. Am I understanding right that for the Goose and #1, rectangles are cut and then Sky & #1 are cut in half on the diagonal and sewed to the rectangles and then trimmed? Is it normal to have so much fabric waste? Or am I reading this all wrong? Thanks.

Thanks. Its actually a pretty lavender (not blue), but you make the block sound pretty. You say its relaxing, I was thinking drab! But, it will match some others in my set, and hopefully calm down the brighter blocks. Thanks for saying that, I think I like it a little better now!
