350 Block Report 2016- November's Report

Here we go for November.
One octagon block. It got done then I have misplaced it so no picture.

What happened after the first octagon block Oh boy not a lot.
I must say in my defence there was my cousin's wedding which involved a trip to Sydney then a week later another cousin turned 40 so a big weekend of family time with the other side of the family.

 Then I got to do some sewing and I completed the remaining 11 blocks from the Sew It Together Sew Along. I have cut the sashing strips ready for me to join the blocks together.

2 more Octagon block

The last 3 Reproduction Christmas Sampler blocks done.

2 test blocks for a secret project for next year. Sorry no photo at this stage.

Lastly 9 neutral four patches. There will be a lot of these to come I think.

So the total for this month is 28.

Until Next Time

Sew It Together- Handmade -Lucky Sew Along #6

I am over trimming half square triangle units. There is a lot  of them in this quilt. Even trimming some, sewing some together in to sub blocks then back to trimming was getting to me. I sure it will be worth it.

My neat piles of trimmed HST units ready to be sewn into sub units. 

It is so easy for me to twist the order and sew them together wrong so what I do is make a block up correctly and I lay it under my extension table on my machine. Then way I can lay the next block over the top in the correct order.

 Here is a taste of what the blocks will look like when they are sewn together.

I am very happy how they are looking with the grey background rather than a white. I can't wait to see all the blocks together and than add the sashing to them.

Until Next Time

Keep Stitching
