As the quilt top has neared completion, I liked Block #1 less and less... so I decided on a redo.... sat down with my seam ripper, a cuppa coffee and disassembled the block. If I had enough fabric, I would have just started from scratch but I didn't... so... rip-it, rip-it, rip-it!
Remaining fabric is limited... so much so that I had to make fabric to get four 6" squares from the new back ground fabric.
Here's how Block #1 looked on the last mock-up I did...
The former background fabric was a soft, watery-looking beige/green batik.... but just too much light fabric when put with the others. I like the new block much better!
The Aiming for Accuracy QAL Lesson #14 was posted Thursday but there was no getting to it until Saturday. I need to be rested and have a cuppa coffee by my side for this stuff.
The second part of this week's lesson was to sew the components of Row B together.
Of course, I couldn't wait... so I sewed Row A to Row B!
What appears as black fabric is actually a dark red violet/purple... and hard to photograph. Next week, we'll be doing connector blocks and assembling Row C. After that, all we have is the borders.
I definitely hit on the perfect after-work sewing project... so relaxing to just sit and sew and not have to think much...
From two FQs you can get seven 8.5" (8" finished) blocks.
For inquiring minds, the print fabrics are "Picket Fence" by Chloe's Closet.
The prints make me smile just looking at them....
