Quilter's Haven 2018-2019 Block of the Month Club - August 2018
Sew Simple Northern Lights Sampler
Tick-Tack-Toe Block
As you can see, I still need to do a bit of ironing, but I have otherwise completed my second Block of the Month quilt square.
The cutting was a bit tricky on this one because we were given just enough to cut out the pieces exactly (less than 1/2 inch to spare once all the pieces were cut out). So, no room for error at all. We were warned because the instructor mistakenly used Thangles to cut her pieces out and ran out of fabric. For this one we had to do each piece individually. I will admit, I mis-cut one piece and had to go buy a small strip of fabric to finish my square. What have I learned? Measure 10 times before cutting anything.
The actual sewing on this square was pretty easy. It had some of the elements from the first square like the outside border design, but the inside design was new. I was a little worried that the red of the contrast fabric would clash too much with the pink in my background fabric, but I do not think it does. The pink dots are small enough that it isn't a glaring combo.
Two months down, ten more to do before I have a finished quilt.
