Should have read your instructions first

I was behind and now I am caught up to June, with July partially cut out. July block 19 has directional prints in the small triangles. Esthetically, I hesitate to make them upside down, so I am looking at some alternative fabrics, making the small triangles different than the big one. Any other suggestions? Looking at my April block, having that blue floral fabric upside down isn't that big an issue...

Once everything is put together only you will know there are imperfections. Don't point them out!

This was a bit of a challenge. I ended up replacing the background directional fabric in block 19 so I could use either direction in those half triangles. I used Marti Michell templates to cut the quarter square triangles in block 21. After doing two of them in the striped background, I went to an allover print for the third basket. Block 20 used odds and ends of fabrics, don't think any of them are like the picture. They were used as leader/enders on the other blocks, when needed. I ended up making extra rails, just because I wasn't counting, so could play around with them at the end.

I am keeping up just barely.

Last month's nine blocks completed - at last!! I couldn't find it in my heart to love that little basket block, so I've substituted one I located on the internet. Not sure I've done myself a favour with this block, really, as it was more difficult (for me) than I had expected. I always seem to have difficulty in attaching a photo and it always appears in this miniscule form. As well as that, the colour is nowhere near the actual colour and the photo is upside down. Anyway, this is the best I seem to be able to do.

Nice alternative block, good to make the quilt your own.

Love your alternative block Lalzy

August blocks completed! I found No. 23 quite difficult, but maybe I'm simply slow? So much piecing, pressing, trimming. Anyway, they're all done now. I feel I've learned such a lot from this little exercise and especially from the generous and professional assistance of Barbara......many thanks again. Well, I've done it again...…….photo is upside down once again. Don't know how to correct this little glitch in the system.
