I seem to be getting back into the groove of making blocks. As you may notice I have started putting the sashing on each block, it makes sense to add it once the block has been completed and trimmed. I had planned to do this some time ago, but better late than never.
J9
This one (above) has been sitting around for ages waiting for me to applique the very small melons in the corner, I thought that it seemed quite a nice block without them.

This block is a combination one – applique and piecing. Thanks to Heather for giving me a few hints for how to attack this block, I’m quite pleased with how it finished up.
G3
This one is one that I have been putting off, it is all applique, I completed it this afternoon, my hands are sore because of the amount of hand stitching, all I can say is I’m so glad that someone invented freezer paper.
We're enjoying seeing the blocks, and your lovely blue fabric selections; plus the excellent close-up photos. You are making such great progress !
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI especially love J9 with the flower in the center.
Smart idea sewing on the sashing with each block! :)
I can't imagine making G3 without freezer paper. Whoever figured out how to make it work for applique was a true genius!
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks, and I think the blue is going to be a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing blocks.Show us more. I think I might also on my blog quiltsampler.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletePip, I'm with you, thank God for freezer paper! I picked 2 giant rolls up on clearance this week, so should be set for life unless of course I attempt another Jane. LOL.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL work!! Gorgeous fabrics, can't wait to see the full top.
All my best,
Heather
