Another week, another set of blocks:
15. Triple Rail, 16. Maggie’s Mystery, 17. Thrifty, 18. Double Four Patch,
19. Half Square Triangle, 20. Triangle Combination, 21. Broken Wheel
I’m still having a lot of fun playing in my scrap bins, though I am going to have to start pulling from my stash soon in order to supplement. I’m running short of black and grey scraps – which, considering what I sew with, shouldn’t be happening, but that’s all right. It’s an excuse to cut into yardage (not that I need one).
I did end up doing some extra work, and re-made two of the blocks. I just didn’t like the way my first attempts turned out, and I had the extra time, because the last few blocks were very simple.
For anyone working on these blocks with me, I highly encourage you to starch your fabrics. I’m even hitting the completed blocks with another blast of starch. It’s extremely helpful for these small blocks. Also – less fraying of the blocks, so they’ll be nice and crisp when I get ready to sew them together.
I’m still loving the process of putting these blocks together, and am looking forward to being able to start assembly.
Linking up to WIP Wednesday. Also linking to Let’s Bee Social.
Beautiful blocks. I like all the gray and black with just a touch of color. It’s going to be a gorgeous quilt.
I love working with black and grey – I can’t wait to see how this all comes together in the end.
NIce blocks! I agree with you about starch.
I only started starching my fabric in the last year, but I’m a total convert!
Your blocks are lovely.
Thank you! I’m really enjoying the process of picking through my scraps and making them.
Thank you! I love making these blocks as pretty as I can.
