B2 - 1/2 square triangles arranged to form a pinwheel, appliqued circle (cardstock paper basted like EPP) to another pinwheel.
B3 - 4 patch appliqued circle (cardstock paper basted like EPP) to 4 patch.
B10 - My first OMG!!! block.
Center paper pieced which somehow finished small. Ugh!!
Sides trimmed to allow 1/4" piecing. Cream strips added to sides.
Cream strips with brown corner squares were added to top and bottom (I had to adjust these to make them smaller since the middle came up small). Ugh!
Pink strips were generously cut to make up the difference and pieced.
Block was trimmed to 5" and voila! Piece of cake.
Did I say OMG!!!
B10 required a lot of patience on my part and constant reminders that anything can be fixed with frog stitching and wider borders. Refer to the original DJ for many examples. He He.
Tips/tricks:
I used Carol Doak's foundation paper (thanks 50 Stars group) for the first time. Love it compared to regular copy paper that I had been using. It tears so easily for removal but stays put for all the frog stitching.
Shorter stitch length for foundation piecing (thanks 50 Stars group) = easier paper removal.
Smaller seam allowance on small pieces. It clearly makes sense but I can be really rigid with my rules (guidelines) sometimes.
Happy Quilting!
