To test out my design I made a block for myself in my colours for this quarter: green, yellow and white. This was my first time ever doing curved piecing and I think it turned out well. I only made minor changes in the subsequent blocks for the members of my beehive -- I cut the fabric squares smaller so as to lose less fabric to trimming and I wonkified each quadrant more.
The design is inspired by the book "Vivacious Curvy Quilts" by Dianne S. Hire and I modified her techinque by using my Curve Master Presser Foot (which works as advertised, I am happy to report -- no pinning required!)
Cotton-cashmere blend yarn. I’ll sort out the size discrepancies after adding white borders and selectively blocking again - which will be whenever I make enough to have a decent lap blankie.
This large granite block still shows some of the quarrymen's holes that were drilled to facilitate splitting the rock into manageable blocks. This quarry was active from the 1890s through the very early years of the 1900s and this block has been abandoned so long that lichens have colonized the exposed surface, including the drill marks.
This little block has laid in our path whilst walking our dog for as long as I can remember, a solitary, lonely block of something, on a circular path to nowhere. Sitting amongst a neighbourhood of scalpings, clinker and gravel, downtrodden but tirelessly repeating its message.
'Block.'
'Block, block.'
'Block what?'
Neither a description nor a command. Just a mantra.
Nobody had mentioned that they had noticed its existence. Or uttered a word of recognition until today when we both opened our mouths to say together.
'Have you seen that.....'
'the Block? Yes!'
Raising more questions that any inanimate, inert object could ever be expected to answer. We left it as it lay, but before we left we took this of the rarely mentioned random block.
9 blocks down, a bunch more to go! I haven't decided if I'm adding sashing between the blocks or sewing it up as is.
I like the idea of signature blocks. I will make one and send it on Monday Annika.
The dark strip in this photo is a navy. Looks terrible in the photo but in real it is quite nice.
Please tell me if you do not like the centre and i will change it.
The white sparkle is really lovely i think. I have not used this before, but will do again.
This was the crowd down the street at the Fox News broadcast. They cheered every time a state was announced for Trump. When I first walked over to observe, they were chanting "USA! USA!" I believe it was after either Florida or Pennsylvania was announced for Trump.
It was hard to believe the NBC and Fox crowds were mere blocks from each other.
Block paints screwed to a bit of wood. Theoretically, the paint should dissolve and colour the snow.... I also had the idea of using powder paint to colour the snow, as it should stay on the surface and not bleed through, in much the same way as grit. The plan is to work with the colour combos and formats. This would have worked nicer if they had been horizontal.

Very old concrete-block building with metal trim. Maybe it's left from the "fireproof" craze of the 1800s.
A lock hangs off the odd metal shed that's been pushed onto the front of the building.
This appliquéd block is for Linda. She provided the fabric (Origins by Basic Grey) and asked us to design a block based on Sarah Fielke's "Out the Window" pattern in her book, Material Obsession.
