Caught up !

After a slow start I finally got caught up with 3 February blocks for Claire.   Yes 3 blocks!  I confess I hadn't been looking forward to them, but they were done in a flash! 

And...

I got Debbies house blocks pieced this morning too!  Debbie, these are such fun!  Oh, that feels so much better now I'm caught up.  Blocks will be in the post first thing in the morning ladies. 

Dutchman's puzzle blocks ... a little late!

Here are my Dutchman's Puzzle blocks! I hope you love them Claire. I'm sorry they're a little late (they'll be mailed out Monday), but I was a tad chicken to make them as I've never pieced anything with triangles before. I'm over it now - and it was actually a blast to make these! I cannot wait to see the finished quilt!

February Blocks

I made Claire's blocks today. I was glad that the tutorial said to press the seams open. I had forgotten that flying geese have very heavy seams. I did press mine open and when I put the blocks together I had to lighten the pressure on my presser foot so that it would go over the huge hump and the seam would match. Just a thought for you ladies as you do these blocks.

I liked the one in the tutorial because she had hers with matching fabrics set for a pinwheel but with these Claire wanted them all to be a different color. I must say these are going to be awesome! I love the way the colors play against each other, or with each other, whatever you would want to say. It will be a super quilt Claire! I will get these in the mail on Monday.
