After celebrating a no- sewing day yesterday, I assembled the Southward Bound at Dusk block today. This is Block Seven of the quilt `Round the Year’ , free blocks of the month being posted on this blog from July 2013.
It took me unexpectedly long – almost four hours – to get it all together. But, I love this block! Now finally to piece Lollipop Candy, the spiral block…
Still to be assembled.
These blocks are taking me about five to seven hours to make, beginning from printing to part assembly – none of them have been attached to the background as yet.
Tomorrow I start work on Block Nine.
Buy the Pattern on Madspatch, my store on Ecwid!
The Sapphire Fire Block is pieced, ready to be assembled. I am not very happy with it, so will put it away for some time. I may decide to change a piece or two on the lighter / brighter side.
Buy the pattern for the Sapphire Fire Block here!
Tomorrow is the turn of the Spiral block, Lollipop Candy!
I have nothing to show for today! I spent some time on my laptop finalizing Block Nine of the Block of the month quilt, Round the Year, which will be posted on January 1st. I also cut the fabric for the Dusk version of Block Four, Sapphire Fire. Just to remind you, I had made this block in only the Rainbow colourway.
This is a fairly simple block, though a bit tedious to piece. The results, though, can be quite stunning!
What gemstone will your block depict? A garnet, a golden topaz or an emerald, perhaps?
I waited till morning to photograph the Venus at Dusk.
That makes it three blocks in seven days. There is hope yet?
