A Stitching Update

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.
