Catch up on Blocks

IMG_0245I got behind on my blocks.  I spent two weeks catching up in my limited free time.  I am so thankful I got caught up since I’ve got vacation, birthdays, weddings, first days of school, etc., coming up at the end of summer and fall.

IMG_0239A spider block.  I did one in the spring for the bee, and once I did one, this one was easy.

IMG_0238The Easy Virginia Star.  She wanted it to look nostalgic.  I did paper piecing for this thinking it would be easy.  I have paper pieced before and found it very quick.  However, this pattern I found challenging and time consuming, and I had to modify it when I made a mistake.  Can you tell?  

IMG_0236And, something to represent a circle for Stephanie.  I appliquéd it on.   I am still not very confident or patient with curved seams.   I love her fabric choices.

Good news is it’s my turn for PTQB!  I am so excited to see what sort of blocks come back.   It was a lot of work getting all the 19 fabric envelopes ready to go out, but it will be fun to see the returns.   I am thankful to all those other ladies out there who will be making blocks for me.

These look great! I'm glad I'm not the only one a little behind-- I still have to mail Edith's.
