Instead I made another Farmer's Wife block.
Block 24, 35 pieces
I used the templates to cut most of the pieces for this one, because they were odd sizes (I'm talking 1 and 9/16th inches and stuff like that). Also, my seam allowance was way scant because I ended up with an almost 7 inch block and I'm a little pissed because I'm going to lose pretty much all of those pretty points along the edge. My quarter inch foot, which I finally switched back to from my walking foot is so not a quarter inch.
The other thing I sewed tonight was a second Stash Bee block for the Hive 8 queen bee.
I hope she likes the bits of color in the mustaches and the sea horses. If I have time, my plan is to make two blocks or more each month. Partly because I know I'd love to get more than one block from people and partly because it's fun to dig through my stash and see what I can come up with.
Linking up to Lee's WIP Wednesday.
Very nice! I'm in project overload too :)
ReplyDeleteI know the issues with quarter inch foots. I test the needle adjustment for each project, to get a proper quarter inch seam allowance :(
ReplyDeleteMmm what a lovely arrangement of cocoa/coffee/latte browns in that first block! Gorgeous :) Even if it's a tad oversized!
