I'm All Caught Up!

Well, despite all the mishaps with my computer dying, my sewing machine dying, summer with all the kids at home....I have finally caught up. A big thank you to Nikki W. for letting me borrow her awesome sewing machine (I wanted to take it home with me so bad and just keep it...is stealing or coveting really a bad thing?) and Connie T. letting me borrow her computer I can share my squares with you.

Here is Emily's Feather

I have Sherri's Poppy completed but I need to take photos.  I will try to upload all of that today.  It feels so good to be caught up!

Vee's Modern Log Cabin in Blue and Yellow

Hello, All.  I'm posting this for my mom b/c she's prepared her block for July as assigned.  This is a picture of it completed.  Isn't it pretty.  If you remember her paper piecing block from last year.  These blocks will go with her blocks from last year to complete a quilt.  I'm excited at seeing this come to fruition for her.  Her quilt will be beautiful.  She's prepared some instructions. 

 They are as follows...

 

 

You will receive all the pieces cut to spec.  =)  Lay them out in the order you see below.  The pieces are numbered in the order that you will sew them together.  USE 1/4 inch seam. (That is really important.)  Finger press the seam toward the dark fabric.

 

1)  You will begin with the 3 1/2 inch yellow square. (labeled piece #1)
2)  Sew one 3 1/2 in x 2 in strip (labeled piece #2) to the top edge of the yellow square.  Right sides together always.
3)  With the yellow square at the bottom and 3 1/2 x 2 in. strip on top, sew one 5 in x 2 in strip (piece #3) to right side of yellow square.

 

4)  Sew 5 in x 2 in dark blue strip (piece #4) to bottom of square.
5)  To the left of your developing quilt block, sew 2nd dark blue 6 1/2 x 2 in strip. (piece #5)
6)  Sew 6 1/2 x 2 in yellow with blue flowers strip (piece #6) to the top.
