I finished L10 today, (finished is better than perfect) when I started this block I decided that I would do it in stages over a few days and it seemed to work, I didn’t get frustrated with it at all.
After I had finished with L10 I made one block with my new Curve Master presser foot, I need a bit more practice but the foot made it very easy, no pinning, no measuring, just place the two pieces together and start sewing. Heather of Retro-fabulous mentioned it in this post, and after seeing the video of it in action, I thought it would be excellent for some of the curved Dear Jane blocks.
I bought my foot from OzQuilts, I must say the service was excellent, I placed my order on Thursday afternoon and received it on Friday morning. Needless to say I couldn’t resist getting some fat quarters as well only $3 per fat quarter from their Fat Quarter Shop, a very reasonable price if you ask me.
Nice job, but that Nasty Nan makes me dizzy looking at it. Quite a challenge for sure, and you did it!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Pip
ReplyDeleteThe symmetry in the L10 block is very good - geez, considering how many pieces of material are involved. That would have done my head in!
Yes, I am packing all sorts of clothes as we have a day/night in Dubai (and it could be 48C) and also 2 nights in Singapore on the way home (hot and steamy). I am not a cold frog so usually one layer plus a jacket is enough for me. Getting very excited but have to get through a wedding, a 21st and a 60th Birthday before we head off on 29th!

Now I know why you called it Nasty Nan. It is quite nasty looking. You are a much better woman than I.
ReplyDeleteNan looks great, but what a little devil to make. I also took 3 days to make - just little bits at a time so I wouldn't get too stressed.
ReplyDeletewondered what you were doing when I saw the title of this post....I thought poor Nan!! LOL.....seeing the blocks for DJ just reminds me why I am not doing it.....you've done a great job with this block!
ReplyDeletewow this one is something - looks very difficult, you did a very good job there.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at the skill involved in these blocks and your persistence - i would have thrown them aside a long time ago.
ReplyDeletegood to hear someone else can't resist the odd fat quarter or two....
