Just Takes 2 Quilt-Along!

No, its black but it is on a cream background so it doesn't pop as much as the black and white does. I like the calming effect it give... was kind of worried before I started but am very pleased now

Pretty blocks stitchinluvr, I'm just now finishing up block 10, I've never used freezer paper so I'm doing fusible web applique, all thats left is to applique the fan blades. Then on to block 11, I'm really dreading this one, I have to figure out a simplier way to make it. Good thing I have 11 days until the next set of blocks come out LOL.

Well just finished block 11. After reading the directions several times I decided to make the freezer paper templates, I guess the purpose of freezer paper is to make the pieces stiffer when sewing. However, my problem was the "y seams" I think that's what their called, never had done those before either, they turned out ok but if I had known what I was doing they would not have puckered I'm sure.
I need to find a visual tutorial for y seams. Glad I had a new experience (freezer paper and y seams)that's why I join these groups to learn new things.
Also under the assembly directions #3 I think the letters should be F and G, not B and F.
Can't wait for Feb 1st to get the new set of blocks!!

Yeah!!! I just finished all my blocks so far! I messed up on block 11... I was just doing normal paper piecing and I got myself mixed up with my black and white, so it is opposite of what it should be. I can still tell what its supposed to be though so it is staying the way it is lol. I also am getting a little faster with applique (I used this for the fan). I went to a store and found some applique needles and have to say that it DEFINITELY shows a difference as far as the stitching. I will put up pictures later today as my daughter has my phone and wont give it up lol.

Ok here are my first set. For some reason I can't find the first block so I will have to make another one. Hmmmmmmmm, those pesky cats must have taken it. I will be doing the next set later.
