SEWING SATURDAY

BLOCK # 4   A4A QUILT-ALONG

My fabric choices for this block made it a little tricky to construct - I just had to have everything running the same direction!  but I'm very happy with the end result.   I spent all Saturday afternoon making this one!

This is the last of the 'very large' blocks!  I don't think I've ever made blocks 20" or more so it's been a good challenge.  I'm learning something every day.

I now have two tins of spray starch at the ready (I'm using Crisp) and once again, I used heaps of it on this block - but it does make it easier to match everything up.  Many many pins help too:-)

Today I will get the Batik version of this block done.  I have to decide what to do about the Batik quilt as I don't have enough of the current Contrast fabric I'm using to finish off the whole quilt so I might just make up a mini quilt and use up what I have and then start another Batik version using a new Contrast fabric I purchased this week.  I have lots of Batik fabrics to use up.

I'm going to try and get the sashing on my Aussie Log Cabin quilt today too - poor thing has been booted off the design wall and is waiting patiently beside the machine...  really must get it done!

Have a lovely day!

and Happy Sewing,

Cheers from Helen
