Not sure if they really think I'm nuts or they are agreeing with me.
Thanks Kass, I'm enjoying using them again. Kind of weird how you can forget the rulers you have just because you don't use them everyday. Just figured they were blocks that perhaps wouldn't be the same as someone else made. Variety, the spice of life you know? |
Jaba, I love my block you made!
Mollymunchins, that bow-tie is spiffy! |
Routine reminders: Seams should be 1/4 inch or a scant 1/4, this includes all the diagonals which is where I most often see the narrowest and the widest seams. Please make sure you are using at least 12 stitches per inch if you are machine sewing. Blocks are to be 12 1/2 inches square - or as reasonably close as you can get them - so measure, measure, measure!
Thanks! |
I decided to look at the gallery to see who doesn't have a block made yet to decide on which block I will work on next. I was inspired by Cheese's fabric. I have an idea and concept now comes the math and drafting to see if it will work. I had intended for the next block to be one of the non dresden for this boom, but maybe next up will be a non dressie. If my plan works out it will be inspired by dressies, however not be a plate.

Ohhh Kass, can't wait! We are "up north" as Wisconsinites refer as going on a vacation in the north woods on a lake. We are here with DH's family and have rented about 10 cabins. Pretty neat percs too, most cabins have dishwashers (ours doesn't) but we have AC, so much for roughing it.

In a cabin w/ running water, toilet and electricity (soft bed, hard walls) is the only way I'd even consider "camping".
I got to take a picture sooner then I thought. These are the fabrics I pulled, not all will make it in. Some of them are either / or like the yellows just pulled several tones and scale to pick one that works best, and these will be fussy cut so the whole print you see will be selected for a purpose. I will be able to do 80% of the work before ever touching your fabric so will be able to see if my vision translates well before the point of no return w/ your fabric.

Looks like Cheesehead's getting a lollapalooza! Those fabs look great together.
Here's my humble offering... A Mississippi block (actually made in and from Mississippi) for Hav4boys: [ATTACH=CONFIG]577695[/ATTACH] |
