Red & Hot Pink Crossed Canoes - Bring your sunglasses!

This is awesome! Is the crossed canoes block tricky to piece? I am primarily an applique quilter, but I would like to do more pieced blocks. I love the crossed canoes pattern, and your rendition is so gorgeous.

Are they tricky? Hm, dunno. I'm not much of a traditional patchwork quilter (although have been a sewer for many years) and have little to no experience piecing blocks. Someone else is probably better equipped to answer this!
I foundation pieced the blocks (with freezer paper), to make sure I'd get all the points and have blocks that are all the same size. It worked well for me! but it takes more time than conventional piecing.

Thank you, glad you like it. The feathers, yes it's you and Katrine whose pictures most inspired me to try them out. Never got the book though. Is it worth it, beyond teaching the basic method?

Maybe I should drape it over my lamp next time I'm sewing at night. Might give better lighting than that dratted IKEA bullb... :mrgreen:
