Gay at Sentimental Stiches has another set of Dear Daughter blocks up. More fun ones! Get them HERE.
Here's my instagram feed for the week. It really has been lovely. Mother nature has turned up the dial and now summer is really here!
Have a lovely weekend!
Love your little Union block! I'm focusing on making the NJ blocks from the Dear Daughter quilt. Can't wait to start on the next one!
ReplyDeleteI just saw your post on the the Dear Daughter quilt. I used to subscribe to the newsletter and when I got overwhelmed with email, I just unsubscribed from most of my quilting newsletters. I follow you on Bloglovin'. I love your Union center to your block and it will make an adorable center to a quilt. I wish I had learned about the blocks when I could have downloaded all of them for free. I had to pay the fee to download all the blocks when I doubt that I will make all of them but yet I hate not to have all of them in case I do indeed want all of them. Oh, what a dilemma. If my daughter were a history teacher instead of a math teacher, I might be more inclined to make the blocks, eh? Again, thanks for the intro to the Dear Daughter quilt. AND your piecing is awesome on your quilt. I was just wondering how I might do that when I saw how small the pieces are. There is not enough room for the typical 1/4" seam allowance, at least it doesn't look like it. I figured that I might take a 1/4" and then I think somewhere I have a 1/8" seam allowance ruler for small paper piecing so that I could cut it down to 1/8" after I sew each seam. Just an idea. Great job on your block~ susan.dietrich@cox.net
ReplyDeleteVery pretty block, Lori!! Do you find you get more visitors to your instagram postings?
ReplyDeleteLori, I find the simple log cabin type blocks are sometimes more challenging since even a tiny variation of the seams makes the strips look uneven. I like your block, though. I'd still use it as long as it squares up to the right size. But that's me....
ReplyDeleteIt is a challenge to keep those little strips straight when stitching together. But humble quilts don't need them perfectly straight, do they? :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, looking at your Instagram, is that a tent in your kitchen?
I love the blue in that original Dear Daughter block - beautiful! I like your Union center as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. I am making an effort to print these for a later date. UFO'S and time sensitive projects are taking my time. I have that Union fabric. Have fun at Sister's.
