It's hard to believe we are almost finished with our hand piecing journey!
Patty and
Kristin are the brave hosts of this quilt-along, and they named these blocks "Florence", "Eula", and "Bess" after characters in
Friendship Album, 1933, a podcast novel. Gardening put my sewing on the back burner for a few days, so instead of weekly, I am posting three this time.
The
Florence block is a pinwheel block surrounded by half-square triangles in the corners and flying geese on the sides.
The
Eula block is assembled with HSTs (half-square triangles) and flying geese. It's amazing how many different designs can result from little HSTs and flying geese!
The
Bess block is made with Flying Geese, Half-Square Triangles (HSTs), and a Square-in-Square. The sub-units are the same as the Eula block but with a different placement.
Since I fell behind, I am linking all three blocks to
Patty's linkup for the Bess Block.
You did a wonderful job with these blocks, and they look great together! I love the yellow and red solids e8th the pretty prints you're using for these blocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you Diann. We will see how it all looks in the final mini quilt!
DeleteExquisite, Linda! I love the names, too. It sounds so good to hear you are gardening. We finally had a warm day (up to the low 60s) but it led to storms—and tornadoes not far from us. I’m really ready for some decent weather. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what you’ve planted this year.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janine! I heard about those tornadoes!
DeleteMaybe I'll do a post about gardening. :)
Beautiful names for beautiful blocks! Your hand-piecing is fabulous Linda! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Christine. :)
