I got the kitty blocks out of the way and now its back to working on block #22. Those little teeny flower petals are trying my patience. (what patience you say???) I have to admit that my points are not quite as "pointy" as I would like on these.

Patti, have to admit I am working on that one a bit at a time, they are tiny and if you are doing 7" blocks heaven only knows how you are coping. I do a couple of leaves and then do another bit of another block. got two more to do but I am getting there

Well I will take this one up as I seem to be the only one around and the reason is to stop the build up of material. It makes it easier to quilt if you have only 1 layer. some of those blocks have 3 layers of fabric so it does help to cut the backs away.
Hope that helps.

Block 8 would have 5 layers in places (not counting the little circle in the middle) if you didn't cut any away behind, and it is how I was taught to do it. The blocks won't seem so stiff to handle either, though that isn't really a consideration if you are only making this as a wall hanging.

I attended the Australasian Quilt Convention yesterday and bought a few more supplies - template plastic, a pinking rotary blade (thought that would be handy) and a nice little Bali Pop for variety.
That was after meeting a group of ladies from the Board for a late breakfast.
All in all a very satisfying day. :-D
