New Blocks






I have made 2 new blocks for "Quilted Diamonds 1" which are in the Blue and Cream color scheme and one new block for "Quilted Diamonds 2" which is in the Pink colors. I have also made my first block for the "Nearly Insane" quilt which was, I have to admit, very easy. I wish I could count on them all being that easy but I have decided it might be wise to go with foundation piecing for these or at least the harder ones, as I think it would be more accurate and a better finish.

Oh and I nearly forgot poor old "Dear Jane", I did another block for it as well, not very happy with the finished product of this block so I think I shall end up doing it again. Meanwhile I don't think it hurts for others to see mistakes it might help someone do a better job than I did.

Doing housework today but while taking a bit of a break to have lunch I thought I would pop in and update what I have been doing this past week.

Oh my, I am so forgetful today, I also have a picture of the teddy quilt that I have finally finished after taking me about 12 months maybe a bit more. I have hand appliqued and hand quilted this for my youngest sons girlfriend. Jess turned 18 in August of this year, I asked her to postpone it for a month but she wouldn't be in that for some reason but if she had I would have only been one month late with it instead of two. Not to worry, better late than never. She has it now and I think she likes it.

I hope I haven't forgotten anything else, if so I will pop in after housework and fill you in.

Happy Sewing all.
