A Few More Blocks
I finished up a couple more blocks for the first small project this year...
Block A is called Old Favorite, block B is Snail's Trail, block C is Flower Basket, and D is Dutchman's Puzzle.
I am designing this project myself but am getting the measurements for these 10" finished blocks from one of my very favorite quilty books: Judy Hopkins' 501 Rotary-Cut Quilt Blocks, which I've mentioned before.
This block is for the cornerstones and is called Broken Sash. The size chart for Broken Sash only went down to a 4" finished block and I needed a 2" finished block... so I had to do a little math...
I've not decided on the exact order of the four larger blocks but there's no hurry on this project.
I guess I hadn't realized that this project was self-designed. Good for you! I am looking forward to seeing this come about.
ReplyDeleteI like the little square cornerstones. Nice touch. : )
Your blocks are turning out so nice! Will be a beautiful quilt and I look forward to seeing your quilting.
ReplyDeleteI think making sampler quilts is fun because each block is different and the sewing is much more interesting. The first quilt I made, way back when, was a sampler quilt and I loved seeing how each block turned out. I guess that's why I like scrap quilts too!
I'm loving this!!!! Of course it is self-designed!! You're a master!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs!
I love the Snail Trail block. Impost add it to my list of things to try!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, Freda. :o)
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be so nice. Love that you're designing it yourself.
