Pulling out each mostly completed block collection is like an early Christmas present. As much fun as it to add to the collection each month, pulling them all out together is just icing on the cake. As I survey the blocks on the wall, I can see a few rotated corner nine patches. My plan for these is to add 2 inch lattice strips and cornerstones in between each block to create nine patches where the blocks meet. I spy a few rotated corner blocks though, so I will fix those as I rearrange the blocks and cut of the strips. My husband has been out of town for work all week, so having him back is another early Christmas present. The kids will start trickling in during the week, so that is even more holiday fun to look forward to.
It's funny how we only see those spots that are sewn wrong after we take the photo! Hope it's an easy fix - those blocks are beautiful. Enjoy having your hubby home again!
ReplyDeleteYour star blocks are so pretty! And yes - having a whole set of blocks is just like Christmas. I found a full set of RSC block just this week, that I had forgotten about. Yay!
ReplyDeleteIt's true that bringing out all the blocks made during the year is a sweet pleasure. Making one block per month (or so) doesn't give me the big picture so it's always a surprise to see them all together. You did a great job with these star blocks. It will make a wonderful quilt. Enjoy the family coming back home. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. Sounds like you're kicking off the holidays with lots of love!
ReplyDeleteI totally love the block you chose for this project. That will be an amazing quilt when you get it put together.
ReplyDeleteI love the block you chose for your RSC quilt. That will be an amazing quilt once you get it put together.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty RSC project! The blocks look fabulous together!
ReplyDeleteSEW pretty, Angela!! Enjoy each "gift" as it arrives. (Be it block set, husband or offspring.)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why there are two photos from me... I was having a terrible time trying to get just one to go through and finally threw my hands up in frustration and quit trying.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that.
Very fun scrappy blocks. Enjoy the assembly process and all the kiddos as they trickle home.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty blocks on your wall! My scraps this week were leftover bits of roving so it was a very different week for me! 😉
