    Default Any one making the Clementine Quilt Along for St. Judes?

    I finished the first block and it was very difficult. 80 pieces in a 12 1/2 " block. I'm not a precision piecer so I have to do it over. I converted it to paper piecing in EQ and had it finished in a quarter of the time the first one took. Did anyone have that much trouble with this first block? I have all the special rulers for folded corners but working with 2" fabric, it's not happening for me. LOL

    Not involved but I love the finished quilt. So pretty. I can see all the tiny pieces in that thing. I need to get the EQ so I can convert to PP when needed. So cool you can do that. Good luck!

    One of them is a 20 inch block. It looks like it is 4 blocks in one. The smaller one is like--no way. It is a beautiful quilt.

    I did improve my piecing skills but not enough to tell I'm very good at small pieces. The PPing was a breeze. The big block was easy. I am more comfortable with big blocks. I didn't include the link as my posts with links seem to get deleted for advertising.

    I haven't heard of it either but 80 pieces- yikes!
    I have that fabric line for a quilt I'm working on (Mama's Cottage). It's a really fun line to work with.

    It is beautiful but, I was not given enough patience to make it.

    My donation quilts for foster kids in my county are much simpler.
