There is no finished stitchery today but tomorrow I reveal the doll quilt challenge.
I have lots of blocks from BOMs to share
the first 3 are from the Splendid sampler BOM they should all be done as 6" but struggled so much with the second one that I made it 12" instead will probably make more this size too as it will look a bit odd if all but one are 6". This BOM is organised by Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson with lots of other designers taking part. We get 2 blocks a moth, have yet to do block 2 for february as it is a vase of appliqued flowers and need some hep with this

This is the calender girls BOM for february we had 3 blocks that make into a very nice wall hanging if you make a few of each block, I am at present just making one each of the blocks then will consider what to do or not to do with them |

That is all of the BOMs but now for a play on disappearing nine patch blocks. I was watching a video of Jennie Rayment on justhandstv which inspired me to have a go. The first block was done starting off with 9 3" squares and then sliced, and turned. I then added 4 more squares between each piece, stitched together, sliced and turned then a further 5 squares added, stitched sliced turned then joined together it finished at 15" sq http://www.justhands-on.tv/ |
This block I started with 2.5" squares and added 4 more times it ended up 24" square, This I feel is too large I find the contrast in the smallest and biggest squares too big but such fun playing around
