Tuesday Quilt block Jan. 16

Good day everyone visiting my little blog!
It's a cold cold day in the American Midwest.  But it's Tuesday and time to share a quilt block.  This week, the Jane Stickle Facebook group I belong to is sharing B3.  I have indeed done this in indigo and white:

This is before being trimmed to the correct size.

Friday Finish Jan. 12 '18

Hello and welcome to what is becoming a regular Friday feature, as long as I am active in my sewing/quilting space. That is, a quilt block, Jane triangle, or even a quilt top to share.
Today, a triangle in indigo fabric:

A bit of a struggle with paper piecing of those long pieces, but doable.  Made of new (to me) indigo reproduction fabric.  Must keep going with the triangles!  At 5 inches by 8 inches, challenging to those of us who normally work in the block format.

Tuesday Quilt block: Jan. 9

Good day! Time for another Jane Stickle quilt block.
This week's block is B 2.  I followed the instructions by Anina on That Quilt.  See her blog for step by step instructions.
Make two pinwheel blocks.  For the best one, cut into a circle of the correct size (and seam allowances) to prep for applique onto the other one:

I used the "freezer paper on bottom" technique.  Arrange with the colors alternating and applique on top of the bigger block.

It looks harder than it really is.

Friday Finish Jan. 5

Happy New Year!  Wishing you the best for 2018.  Time to get back to work on quilt blocks.

I have been working on a scrappy Irish Chain project that is not quite ready for its debut.  In the meantime, I will share the block of the week for the Jane Stickle quilt group on Facebook:

This is B 1 or Batchelor Buttons.  Simple enough, but watch the applique of those curves!
