What was I thinking?


Did some wee sewing.




Table for four - 29 pieces. The tiny little HSTs around the middle block were trimmed down to 7/8 of an inch. It finishes at ... well, it is too small to be repeated.


Baby Bunting - 16 pieces
Isn't that a cutie?


Beginner's Choice - 36 pieces. The original block was made with lots of Y-seams (again?) but this time, I've manage to skip them, (eh, eh, eh!) using instead the friendlier partial seams. Really! What was I thinking? That sewing partial seams on a one inch piece of fabric would be easy? I thought THAT? Please, someone, get me off these pills!
After much cursing and the use of lots of pins to move the little pieces around (instead of my big fingers), I manage to make one. Gosh! Three more to go! The units are 2 inches unfinished.
It took me all Saturday afternoon to put this one together. Oh well, too bad for the housecleaning: I ran out of time for that. :^b

I should now be good for a few easy blocks, hopefully, as per Kathryn's habit.

Beginner's Choice (which I really doubt that it is) falls on October 17th, meaning that I only have 75 more blocks to go. Whoop Whoop!

Hey, Gorgeous Blue, wait for me.

;^)

Those are such amazing tiny blocks! My fumbly fingers would have trouble with those little pieces, too - but you did great!

Challenging blocks to say the least! For your sake, I do hope the next few are easier blocks as you're thinking! Nicely done!!
