SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks

[bbquiltmaker]

quilthermine, you have figured out how to post on the Forum and insert a photo--that' great! Just look around to see all that is here. Every time I come to the Forum, I check "Recent Topics"--that way I see what has been posted most recently in all the Topics and can check those that interest me.

Welcome, your blocks are lovely and you are sure to catch up. Good thing it's not a race.

[Heather7]

Barbara,That's what I was hoping to do, could you give me the measurements they are using. So appreciate your guidance!

[bbquiltmaker]

Heather, the blocks are still 6.75” finished, 7.25” unfinished. Each square is cut 2.75”.

Heather7, I saw your (life is too short comment about the double nine patch. Loved Barbara"s comment on the normal
nine patch, and that started me thinking is there an easier way to get a double nine patch. So this morning I tried to make
and appliqued double nine patch. Picture of the regular pieced and the applique below.For

the applique I just cut a finished size since
it was an experiment. I cut one background piece 6.75 inches square. I drew the grid with frixion pen. I put print and fuse on the
back of a couple colored strips. Cut the strips to .75 inch and then sub cut to .75 squares. Put them in place on the grid and fused down.
Stitched the 8 patch lines so it would look like pieced. Started to stitch with dark mono filament on the batiks squares. It would probably
work and was way faster than all the cutting of the back ground and the worry about which way to press the seam allowances. I might
try this on another project. You got my mine thinking. Thank you. HelenW

I can’t wait any longer I have to start putting it together , I have all my blocks done except the appliqué ones that haven’t been release yet , I am added some embroidered stitches to my appliqué for a nice hand project to enjoy doing out on my deck

[Cindyaziah]

Progress on the Afternoon Delight. Looks like I need to quit procrastinating on making double nine patch blocks.
It has been a fun quilt to work on but I am losing momentum. Keep looking at other projects I want to work on. Just
started a panel One Block Wonder. I cut out some of the 60 degree triangles and just feel like making hexagons for a while.
If anyone out there has made panel OBWs I would love some tips and advice. HelenW

[Cindyaziah]

I am loving adding these stitches

[Jupergee]

HelenW - I have strips cut for the double nine patch but none sewn. All this time in quarantine and I keep putting it off.....

Alex mentioned there is a Kaffe Mystery area on the forum but it does not show up on my account. Do I need to register somewhere?
