Another note about periwinkle quilt from msq
So, today, I decided to finish the other two units to complete the periwinkle block w/template and foundation paper from MSQ....the first two are the ones I "fixed" to get points, so I thought, do the other two and make the whole block as a reference........so I did, then proceeded to remove the paper that I had "tacked" on w/glue from MSQ........Now this may be my mistake, as I do not use glue in piecing, this too was a first for me, but anyway, as I was removing the paper the red logo on the paper has left a shadow on the background white muslin I was using.......and a very faint mark on the colored kite too.....only on the ones that I first did a few days ago.....the ones I did today, I guess because I had just done them there was no transference from paper. So, like I said, may be my fault...should maybe have put the paper print side away from fabric....I guess if I am going to finish this project-serious doubt here-I will do it that way, and I really don't think I will use the glue. Another thing....because this is foundation, not paper piecing, the outside edges of the block are all bias......so I guess if I do again, I will machine-baste the edges of all the finished blocks before putting them together.........Am not a happy camper with this project........
With the smaller blocks from sewhooked I have done those as paper-piecing....making sure those outside edges are on straight of grain.....but those are smaller and less waste too. I think I will stick to things I know.......tonight I need an Advil!!!!! |
I printed out the sheet from the link you posted and I will do them as paper piecing on light paper. I really like the ones you did from the link.

what is MSQ, not familiar with that acronym

Thank you for posting the ups/downs/sideways of your project. I ordered the template and papers when the Periwinkle tutorial by Jenny Doan came out. This will be my special project during spring retreat. Yes, I also noticed the bias edges and planned to stay stitch. I am sorry that you've had so many headaches with this adventure.... Best wishes for success tomorrow :-)

I was looking for a pattern to use up plain white cotton broadcloth. I have tons of it left over from doing tablecloths. My block is slightly less then 8 inches but that is because I used my regular sewing foot and not my 1/4 inch foot. I am going to use up misc. scraps and hopefully make a dent in the white broadcloth pile.
