My August blocks are finished! I am liking the array of interesting little blocks we have generated so far.

So pretty, Mkotch! I'm getting very excited about seeing these Harriet tops, as they are all going to be so different and distinctive.

I had a great start to my blocks yesterday. I sewed all of my paper pieced first seams without the second fabric, LOL. I should have reviewed the process before starting. All fixed now and rolling again.

Very pretty Mkotch.

Like your choices of batiks. I agree, all our color choices are going to make each finish so distinctive.

Very pretty blocks!!

Here are my August blocks. That leaves me 5 days to work on the July applique block plus try to catch up on my two other sew alongs!

Great blocks Joe's mom! I love the combination of backgrounds.

I've been working on the applique block from July. I have sewn the petals to the buds and have the center sewn together, so I am ready to start sewing it all to the background. I work on it at my Monday sewing groups so maybe next week or two it will be done.

I'm working on that July applique block a little each day. I did my first inner bud with overlaid leaves yesterday, cool!

Hello everyone, so sorry I am a little late posting the next eight blocks. We took the grandchildren to a zoo yesterday and I hadn't walked so far in ages - pretty shattered today !!

I substituted H6 ( Royal Cross ) with B3 Campfire from Loyal Union.

Also - as I hate wasting fabric - the measurements for block I 1 Soda Springs - C - in light beige, dark blue and green fabric said 2 strips cut 11/2" x 8" and when joined crosscut into 4 strip sets 11/2" wide. 4 x 11/2" = 6 so I cut my at 6 1/4" inches instead of 8 inches.

Likewise in block E 9 Kitty Corner - C - cut in dark blue 1 1/4" x 12" and light beige D 2 strips 11/8" x 12". Crosscut joined strip sets into 4 x 21/2" wide. 4 x 21/2" = 10" so I cut my strips at 10 1/2" instead of 12"

I haven't got a lot of some of my fabrics so I am being ultra careful with wasting any LOL !!!!


Here are my finished eight blocks !
