152 & Redo Plans for 151

G-13

I've been up since 5 am this morning, so I decided to go ahead and whip up a simpler block. This should give me time to at least consider a redo of yesterday's block. I hope I have enough fabric for it!

Happy Quilting,

#151 is Done!

C-4

Tic Tac Toe wonkiness is not my favorite block but out of 169, they can't all be our favorites, right? LOL

Block Blitz Continues #150 Posted

M-7 was all applique for a change.
I wonder if I have any other applique blocks remaining.

Quilt Block 149, Just 20 Main Blocks Remaining!!!

F-6

It is incredible to be going into the weekend with just 20 remaining blocks. Thank you everyone for all your fantastic support. I have the best followers!

I'd like to say hello to a special follower...my grandmother. You're amazing!

This block went quickly. If you think of it as a 9 patch, you're in business.

Enjoy your weekend.

Happy Quilting,

148 & Curve Master Playtime

L-6

Number 148 has 47 pieces in it. Well, I think it does...I'm not recounting again today.

One tiny green square is completely covered by a flower head pin and there are 7 pieces in a 1" square area. SEVEN!! No wonder this little block contains madness in the title!

While I cannot say I have mastered the Curve Master quite yet, playtime was a blast. By my 3rd block I felt like I was really getting the hang of it. I'm sticking with scraps for a few more blocks before I cut into the stash. So far, I'd say it's well worth the investment.

This is the first specialty foot I have shown any interest in and actually ordered.  I don't even own a quarter inch foot, believe it or not. I wish all machine feet came with so many attachments! I can use this foot on all my machines. How cool is that?

Using a good pair of tweezers* (or beading tweezers as pictured) as your final edges are getting close to the machine is most helpful. Without it, my first 2 blocks had incomplete seams the last half inch or so.

*Using tweezers was one of Julie's hints (Jaybirdquilts.com) on the video posted yesterday----it's completely worth replaying when yours arrives as a refresher.*

Happy Quilting,

Heather
