Here are the M-11 blocks I made last night :) This wasn't too hard, but I learned a lot about lining up diamond corners. LOL

Very nice Rachel, both blocks, but I like the orange the most

http://www.twiddletails.com/store/in...age=page&id=21 I adore pping this way because I never ever get an angle wrong, and I have very little fabric waste because I do not have to cut my pieces too big. This is because the next piece you are sewing is actually folded back, so you can easily line everything up, whereas with regular pp, you kind of put the pieces of fabric down with a wing and a prayer and hope you have the angle and centering right. LOL Maybe I'll make up my own tute one of these days too. But if you have never tried it, you should give it a shot for one of your blocks. Oh if you give it a try, I don't bother pre-scoring the lines and I have never had trouble with folding back, saves a lot of time that way. And as far as doing two at once, I certainly am not brave, so I must be the other thing .... hehehe :lol: :lol: Cheers! Rachel |
I fold my paper back when pp'ing too Rachel...I agree with you about the lack of waste and lining things up better. It usually works everytime for me...if I'm paying attention :roll:
Thanks for the link though! |

My wrist is much better. I should have sued the doctor but at the time I was with my ex and he didn't believe in it. My hubby now (much smarter man!) was unhappy that so much time had gone by and basically we couldn't do anything about it.

So glad to hear your wrist is more comfortable, haven't ever heard of anyone with an allergy to newsprint before, I suppose its better than an allergy to chocolate! If your dog has finally got the message about the tissues, perhaps it was worth the discomfort.
Don't worry about being at week 8, just keep going at these little blocks as often as you can. They don't do themselves, but its very rewarding when you get a handful done. Rome wasn't built in a day, after all. Has anyone seen anything from Esq recently? I haven't and I just hope she is OK. |
