I enjoyed the log cabin block. I had done those before and I like the clean lines of it. I think I'm just more of a square and rectangle kind of gal.

Quilt Along Blocks Week 4
Two more blocks are ready for this week in Amy's Quilt Along. I had a hard time putting the mosaic block together. It is all half square triangles! I knew when I started it they wouldn't all line up. I was right! I think various factors add up to them not lining up like low quality fabric, no starch, not enough pins, and crooked cuts. I really need a better, bigger ruler for cutting but I simply can't afford it right now. Why must quilting be such an expensive hobby? Sigh.

Your blocks are just so lovely. They remind me of being in the country, my favorite place. I cannot wait to see your finished quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour new blocks look amazing! I love my big ruler, couldn't go on without it :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the soft colors of your quilt! It's looking good!
ReplyDeletelovely blocks, you did a great job. Check out some church rummage sales for quilting supplies, i got a couple of rulers for my collection at some of the sales for only a couple of dollars each! well worth it!
ReplyDeletevery very nice ! If you have a joanne fabric store nearby , watch their ads . They do have quilting stuff 50% off sales AND if you get on their email or regular mailing list , they send you 50% off coupon on a regular priced item . That is how I have gotten things, or garage sales !
ReplyDeleteoh , and your triangles look fine ! I haven't done mine yet ....

Wish I had the color sense you do! I'll catch up with ya'll hopefully this week or next!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I needed to hear some encouragement after this week's blocks! I don't have a JoAnn's nearby. I just have Hobby Lobby and Hancock's Fabrics. I'll just have to wait for a sale to get me a big ruler.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great! I think the mosaic looks good!
ReplyDeleteI think the mosaic looks GREAT!!! HST are hard for me too, my inability to sew straight hinders their progress. Keep on truckin' and practicing!!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look cool. Love your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your blocks look great! I had a hard time with the mosaic block too. I guess practice makes perfect!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks. Your quilt top is going to look great when you are done.
