Today I’m working on paper piecing block #19, The Old Maid’s Ramble, of Barbara Brackman’s Grandmother’s Choice block of the month. You will understand why I chose to paper piece this one when you see the one made using the rotary cutting instructions.
Half square triangles turned the wrong way. A larger dark triangle placed wrong. Block unsquare. And oh those crazy bias edges to deal with. Yuck. I vow to get the new block finished tonight!
I am way behind on the Grandmother’s Choice blocks. Chances are I won’t make them all because I plan to set them in a vertical stripy style similar to this one found on Lone Star House of Quilts’ blog. But that plan may change. It’s still early.
Hope each of you have a wonderful, productive, fun weekend. In the meantime, may your bobbins always be full.
Looks perfect to me, I looked long and hard at it, I like it the way it is. Sometimes a break from sewing is good.
ReplyDeleteI am WAY way behind...I have been collecting the patterns but have done NONE yet!!! I do like the Lone star design.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get out of your funk soon enough!!! Yes, with a block like that Foundation Paper Piecing is definitely the way to go, there are just to many potential hazards in the block like that, although it is a great block!!!!!
