A good yield ....

After Saturday's marathon effort, I spent a couple of hours tidying up my sewing room yesterday, then I made a couple of  FW blocks, they turned out quite well although perhaps there should have been a bit more contrast in #79 Silver Lane, but I'm happy with it.


#79 - Silver Lane 


#105 - Wild Goose Chase 

Today's effort was two more blocks, #87 Star Gardener has turned out really well but  #49 Honeycomb was not an easy block, I originally planned to hand piece it, but changed my mind and decided to foundation paper piece instead.  I only had a 10" piece of the green fabric so it took a bit of careful cutting to make the most of it, half way through making the block I was wishing that I had hand pieced it ....


#87 - Star Gardener


#49 - Honeycomb

    My Machine would have stretched those "Sisters" edges too.... unequal feeding of top and bottom layers.
