Last weeks Anthology block, called Confused Geese (very apt I though while trying to make this!)
Sylvia's Bridal Sampler block mark 2, Yankee Puzzle, I didn't read the instructions properly and was making this in a rush, always a recipe for disaster, my first block came out at 7 inches. This one is around about the right size!
I made these blocks for the current Aussie hero quilt, looked up the size on the internet and they came out half an inch too small, then I remembered I had made them last week....oh dear!!! They have gone into the orphan blocks box.
The poppy blocks came out the right size as they are foundation paper pieced.
Some happy mail has arrive at my house, it was my birthday last week and I was given wonderful presents and flowers and this sloth wall quilt from Ingrid, isn't it cute!!
And Jill very kindly gifted me this wall quilt, Jill was learning foundation paper piecing and these are the blocks she made. So pretty.
Today I have made simple blocks to go in between the poppy blocks for the top and bottom of the Aussie Hero quilt. Here we are part way through. They are finished and added to the quilt now, I am off to sort out some backing.
Happy stitching.
Happy birthday for last week. You received some lovely gifts. Don’t you hate it when blocks don’t turn out. I just hope you have plenty of fabric to play with.
ReplyDeleteLovely block..... Happy belayed birthday....
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are all lovely, I'm glad to hear that someone else has trouble with blocks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday for last week Sue ... I am not sure if I wished you it already or not .... I have been remiss in my blog reading since my return from Mums & "Life" has been getting in the way. I saw the Sloth quilt on Ingrid's instagram & thought how gorgeous it was. The quilt from Jill is really lovely too. I hope you had a wonderful birthday Sue. I love your new Header with that stunning view down your section & garden. xx

I always make a mess when I rush and yet, I haven't learned the lesson. Sorry about your blocks. I'm sure they'll be useful on some other project. Love the Poppies. Happy belated birthday! ;^)

Noooooooo! I have missed your birthday again! I am on bended knees apologising profusely. But I can't get up now. I hope it was a wonderful day. Once again, so many lovely projects. Hip, hip hooray!
ReplyDeleteYou received some real treasures. Sorry I missed your birthday. It looks like I picked the wrong week to be blog absent.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your Birthday treasures Sue. Also the blocks you have been making. Love the confused geese block - I like that stretched shape of the geese (rather than square). There are some cool blocks in that book.
ReplyDeleteAs always, wonderful work! Happy happy birthday!
