My newest additions could have been pieced for you curve aficionados out there...however, as fearless as my quilting is I've yet to conquer the curve. I thought I'd be all over it right away but curve piecing these tiny blocks makes me nauseous. Since I did manage to learn a bit of applique, I skipped the curves and finished in a reasonable amount of time. I'd say quickly but I did have a big problem with the first one when it was just stitches from completion. Overtired and enthusiastic to finish a block, I clipped right through my work. It happens---just a reminder to slow down, I suppose. =)
82 blocks and counting---I like the sound of that.
Happy Quilting
82 is quite a few blocks. Looks good even though you aren't fond of piecing them.
ReplyDeleteWhoohoo! Way to go! They look mah-velous too! :-)
ReplyDeleteClose to the half way mark now :-)
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Your blocks are lovely! I do like the retro fabrics. 82 blocks, whow! How many will there be?
ReplyDeleteWow ..... these are wonderful and I look forward to seeing a peek of the layout.
ReplyDeleteSo annoying when you clip too much (been there, done that) and it always happens at the end.
ReplyDeletePip, so true! I took a few days away from it and am feeling better.
ReplyDeleteRose Marie, it's a work in progress. I have a few software programs that work independently so the most thorough layout is still in my head =).
Lilla Marilla, there will be 169 blocks that make up the center of the quilt. Triangles (if I do them) will add quite a few more. An earlier entry explains quite a bit about the background of the original.
I think I've responded individually to everyone but Lilla Marilla. I'm not able to respond directly to you due to your privacy settings. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reading!
