Block 11 - Broken Dishes
I think this one is my favorite this week.
All scrap fabrics. I decided to use the HST method where you sew around the edges of 2 larger squares right-sides-together, and then cut a criss-cross through the middle, yielding 4 smaller HSTs. That seemed the most efficient way to get all those HSTs done this afternoon. The resulting HSTs were over-sized, so I needed to trim them down. That also cut down on the wonk factor. None of them were stretched out or abused -- Yes, I'm getting better at pressing those sensitive bias edges.
Those greens came from some of the very first quilts I made over 15 years ago.
Block 16 - Calico Puzzle
The blocks this week only took a little over 2 hours. I felt like I got a break -- no paper piecing! And it was a welcome break from the news this week.
Block 21 - Contrary Wife
Not so sure about the color combos in this one. Those purples in the corners are not quite right. I think the neutral cream would have worked better than the silver snow. This one may be a candidate for a re-do some day. But not today.
