I made a late start on some of my June stitching. I blame a Zoom party, getting my Splendid Sampler 2 top together and going away for a long weekend. All good excuses and great fun.
Firstly, I have made my pink pineapple block for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I really enjoy making these blocks.
I still have to make my pink drunkard path blocks.
Then it was on to my Blockheads 3 blocks. I hadn't done any for this month. Now I am up to date......until tomorrow, when the next block is release. These are all 8 inch versions.
The last two blocks have loads of tiny white corners. The first one has 32 one and a half inch squares and the last one has 64 one and a quarter inch squares........all needing a diagonal line drawn on them.
One lady in the Facebook group shared how she drew up a grid of the cutting lines and then drew all the diagonal lines before cutting. Pure genius! This was very timely, as it was just before I was going to cut my blocks. It worked a treat. My large rotating cutting mat came into its own.
Now to get back to stitching the other things on my June goals list.
Perfectly pieced! Your work is wonderful, obiviously you have taken much care when piecing. My favorite is the pineapple.
