Well....here is my first block for GramE.. I started out trying something a little more complicated for my tester block but stepped back a bit when it didn’t work out. It’s a different experience when your cutting into someone else’s fabric! And your block looks great too, D. I’m really liking all the red & white we have this time. |
Pamela great pinwheel, the wow fabric is a perfect choice, hits the soft, feminine nail on the head.
DHenson, love your modified pinwheel too, you cut the scalloped red fabric perfectly. |
Well, my second block was almost done when I realized I followed the directions for a 12 1/2” finished block so now my block is 1/2” to big. There are HST around the outside, so that makes it hard to adjust. :( Oh well, Hello seam ripper!!
|
Denise, for the record, I have at least a half a dozen seam rippers! :shock:
|
So fun to see the Abby Road block. Adorable. Would love to see the quilt it went into.
|
I have some fabric cut and ready. Will work on today and hope to post pictures soon. Actually the hardest part. Haven't found an easy way yet to post pictures to this board
|
I think this is a darling block. I like how the darker blue gray anchors the print.

Okay I went and took another picture, if this one doesn't turn out, I give up. I don't know what I do wrong but I always take crappy pictures![ATTACH=CONFIG]596449[/ATTACH]

This is going to be a sneak peak for Cheese, and a little shameless bragging b/c I'm so pleased w/ myself right now, lol. I was cutting Cheese's fabric into stacked repeats to make parts of the block to come. I had enough room in the repeat for 6 triangle stacks, now what I have in mind to do 6 would work, but 7 would be perfect, but there wasn't enough room for 7 .................................................. .................................. when you cut triangles from a strip of fabric you have the small end pieces these end pieces are only about half the size of the triangle you are cutting and usually just tossed. I had 4 ends, so I sewed those 4 stacks of 4 each tiny triangles into small triangles then into small squares then into my 7th repeating square. Now I could have bragged to my husband about this feat of ingenuity but he just wouldn't have "gotten" it. lol lol lol Here is a pic of the 7 squares.
