A Little Sewing--A Little Catching UP

Well, it's about time!  I've been neglecting my quilt blocks--
too many other things to do that are fun as well....


This is block one of three for January (yes! January!)
A Quilting LIfe always has interesting BOM (blocks of the month)
sew alongs.  This year's blocks are made with half square triangles-
once you decide on the size of your block--just make a 'ton' of
half square triangles--it takes 12 for the block size I've decided on.

Second block of January's three--I'm still sewing half-square
triangles for block 3--it takes time to cut the blocks, mark
the sewing lines, sew, cut, square up.

this block is for Pat Sloan's' Flower Bouquet BOW--
Block of the Week!  Each Wednesday she has a different
block for your sewing pleasure--she is one busy
designer!

One Wednesday's instructions gave us the
setting blocks--need 11 of one and 13 of the 
others--those are all done!  Nine patch went together
nicely, as I had many 2" squares already cut in
my scrap bin--of course, the other blocks needed--
you guesses it--half square triangles--but, this size was
just perfect for my paper sets from Quilting and Whatnot

Another Wednesday block--oops!  Something
is wrong with this one--

This is the correct setting for this block!-
some ripping..............

January and February blocks from Sentimental Quilter
She's Kathleen Tracy's Small Quilt Lovers on Facebook.
Blocks are 4" finished--great fun to make, if you can
do small!
