After the challenges of Block 43 , it was a relief to knock Block 13 off in a short time, with just nine pieces. They were lovely BIG pieces, they were also lovely and SQUARE. I guess the variety in this quilt is what makes it so interesting!
Another Mama Said Sew by Sweetwater (Moda) showcase. The red and cream cross hatch fabric is slowly becoming a favourite, having featured in quite a few of the blocks.
I have made a start on the next block, which is Block 80, but have already made the next random draw, which I will let you know about in my next post, as I needed to get ahead with some cutting out. It takes a bit of time to decide on the colour schemes, to cut out the paper templates, and fabric pieces for each block, and I tend to have more time to do this at the weekend. Its great knowing that there is a good stream of hand piecing ready to do for when I am travelling about.
NUMBER OF PIECES: 9
DIFFICULTY: 1/10
SMALLEST PIECE: Square, 1 1/2" (38mm) x 1 1/2" (38mm)
LARGEST PIECE: Rectangle 6" (152mm) x 3/4" (19mm)
TECHNIQUE: English Paper Piecing (EPP)
