Lesley, thanks for posting the thread..Your group is beautiful! I don't remember if I mirrored or not..maybe I did, but no one will know the difference (except for the Jane police) if I didn't.

Here is my group. I was a little different from Lesley as I found the blocks fairly straight forward this week, but found the tri to be a terror!

The tri RS13 has those dreaded (at least for me) Y seams and there was no option to print off the foundation patterns, so I made my own. I printed an extra copy of the block and divided the block into 4 sections. Unit 1 was the top and included the top 2 sections. Unit 2 is the next tri, then the big square below it. Unit 3 is the left side of the tri bottom and includes the center triangle on the bottom. Unit 4 is the right side of the tri bottom. I sewed the bottom sections together (3 and 4) before trying to sew them using that yucky Y seam to Unit 2. Attach Unit 1 to Unit 2 and whew...your done!

I appliqued the little blocks to the outside of E 6. I wish I had extended the lines and pp'd them

I sewed 1 seam on the machine for the inset seams on D-12, then hand sewed the other side down.

The hardest looking block this week- M-9 is actually very easy if you pp it. and of course the melon block is easy...we are used to the melons by now. Have fun!

Week 37
