WEEK SEVEN - WHAT CAROL DID
Worked on blocks 19, 20 AND 21. .At the start of the shuffle I decided to make 2 sets of block using different fabrics. For one set I am using Somerset by Fig Tree quilts for Moda and the other set is using Moda Bella Solids and Muslin Mates . Doing the shuffle is teaching me a lot about color and value. Also I think my piecing is improving as we go through each week. I will come out the other end of the shuffle a much better piecer than when I started! Also I posted another short pressing tip video : Scroll down to view.
block 21 tip
BLOCK 21 TIP: THE SMALLER BLOCK UNITS DO HAVE RIGHTS AND LEFTS IN THIS BLOCK . LAY OUT THE PIECES WHILE YOU ARE SEWING THE DIAGONALS TO MAKE SURE YOUR ZIG DOESN'T ZAG......or DO AS I DID AND SEW IT TOGETHER BACKWARDS THEN KEEP YOUR SEAM RIPPER HANDY TO MAKE IT RIGHT AGAIN :)
