It’s September and this month you will be getting a bonus!!! Two blocks each week…
I sure lucked out becaue we are working on our book for our new fabric line Star & Stripe Gatherings and getting ready to go the Outer Banks of NC on a week long retreat with 40 lucky ladies…but the reason I lucked out is…these two blocks were super simple so I could easily fit them in my more than packed schedule…
Block 14 is from Lynne of Kansas Trouble Quilters…go HERE for her pattern…and…Block 15 is from the CRAZY fun/mean girls from Me & My Sisters…who TPd me in Dallas…They were just jealous because our class had more fun or something like that…lol….Click HERE to go to thier pattern…
Time out here for a sad note: I had someone comment that they do not like the fact that they have to go somewhere else for these patterns each…this is just how it works…you need to go to the designers blog- who put her time and heart & soul into this project…if you do not like it…then do not do this project and move on to something else…but really is it too much to ask? Come quilter’s your better than that!!…but back to the rest of you who are in for a little fun and adventure while visiting the blogs…
On to the blocks…
I love the Fidget Spinner block and how it turned out…and the Corner Pocket block was super easy and turned out perfect…
I do want to let you know that in block 13 as well and 14 I use this ruler A LOT and it really helps with accuracy and it is a time save I think.. I know I talked about it earlier here in MBH2…
Click HERE if you need to order one… Again…this is where we can make a little money for our time and tips we share with you…your supporting a designer(Doug) and family business (mine) and not some corporation…I always try to support the little guys…
But again this is how simple it works..
see those little cut off triangles? Those will be 3/4″ finishing Triangles that are just left overs and can be used because you cut them accuratley instead of just sewing across the diagonal and then trimming…this is not as accurate as when you use the ruler..
And BANG just like that perfect blocks…so if you are struggling with your blocks…take some time and visit past BH1 posts on how to piece accurately…it is more than just a good 1/4″ seam…Remember all through September you will be getting two blocks…so visit all of us here to see them!!!
