I managed to get another of Lori's blocks finished. I like to make the HST's by sewing two squares diagonally together on either side of a centre line and with so many fabrics to choose from I try to make enough to have a complete round with no doubles. The bonus to doing it this way is that I then have enough for the next block, as making them this way yields two HST's from each one. I then press them flat, trim to size and join them together for each side with chain-piecing, so that all four sides are done at the same time. So this is number 5 and I also made the centre 6"block for the next one.
A few nights with the Winter Olympics, Friday at Somerset and today at the Applique Guild meeting I've made a bit of an inroads to the 4th centre square of Coxcombs and Stars. Not ready for a photo -yet but it's coming along.
I also have Foxtel [Cable] on my IPad and watched all 13 episodes of Season2 of House of Cards. I did thoroughly enjoy it and may watch it again before this offer runs out on the 13th March. The only downside to this, is the fact that I can't sew while my IPad sits on my knee. I'll have to work on that. LOL! Have a good week everyone.
I like the colors you are using in the Lori block. It caught my eye right away.
ReplyDeleteI discovered that I do have the Coxcomb pattern that you are making. I would no longer have those particular fabrics and would need to find something else that would make me happy. But someday!
That is a lot of piecing and your did a beautiful job on the block and choice of fabrics.

Looks great Dorothy.
ReplyDeleteDorothy, that's a lot of half square triangles! Lovely and perfect, as always :)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking block. Love the colors you have used. I am currently watching House of Cards and enjoying it too. How about a iPad holder sitting on a table next to your chair.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your version - fabrics and colors; yum.
ReplyDeleteLove it, looks so happy
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow you used in this block!
ReplyDeleteYour block looks fantastic Dorothy, love the colour combination. I missed you on Saturday, hopefully catch up at the exhibition.
