I did not do a lot of glueing and popped my templates out before stitching so I did not have to soak the finished block. I don't normally use black and am having a bit of difficulty keeping it lint free. :thumbdown: This may influence the amount of black I continue to use. |
Oh no. I "accidentally" bought more fabric! I was at JoAnn's Fabric Store, minding my own business, when I was attacked by 8 bolts of fabric. So I quickly took them to the cutting table and ordered a half yard of each. They are spinning around in my washing machine right now. That will teach them to jump into a stranger's basket! lol
Seriously, since I am making my blocks the 12.5" size, I am wondering how much harder the small siZe might be. So when these fabric attracted my attention, I bought enough to make a second quilt... this one being the 6.5" blocks. I'll post photos when they are dry. hugs, Jupiter |

Wow! Everyone's blocks are beautiful. I am machine appliqueing my blocks and am using my machine blanket stitch rather than using invisible thread as was suggested in the book as I like the look of the blanket stitch. Here is my "Laura's Cathedral Window."
The outside of my block is turquoise although it looks gray. [ATTACH=CONFIG]160338[/ATTACH] |
That is so pretty. I like the blanket stitch too.
