Took the day off yesterday so I’m making the second block today to make up for the missed block.
Vs Block 13
This block has templates for some of the pieces as it was not possible to cut them with the rotary cutter and get the correct degree for the angle.
Putting it together. were going to start with the outside HST black and white. then sew then on each side of the corner squares.
press towards the black so no white shadows will show up
Finger press all the seams and press with the iron dont iron since all these are on the bias
Next were going to sew the corner 4 triangular patches. The 2 oranges 1st then add the blacks on each side. I’m not really sure why the EQ8 program gave me the orange done in 2 pieces when it could have been cut as one. Oh well. well work with what the pattern gave us.
make sure that the orentatio of the black is short side towards the orange
press towards the black
Add on the top of the section pin the center and pin the other seam to get that perfect match
When i sewed this i had the white seams facing up so i could see where the point is.
Now we have a 9 patch sections so put them together in rows.
I live by Mayerthorpe, Alberta Canada.A mother of 3. In my spare time I have 2 loves: Quilting and my horses these work well with the seasons. I started quilting when my oldest daughter was born 25+ years ago. I was making western shirts, when I quilt making those I had lots of bright cotton so I started making quilts. Over the last 17 years I have really gotten into it. I started taking an applique and a free motion class at my LQS. I'm now at the point where I no longer purchase Patterns. I've actually started designing my own. In 2015 I invested in EQ7 Quilt design program. In 2013 I purchased a HQ Sixteen on a 12 foot frame.
