Block 22 - Corn & Beans
No paper-piecing this week! Hurray!
With this block, I finally learned how to make those no-waste flying geese blocks. I'd seen those tutorials before, but it just never made sense to me. Turns out I was missing the part where you add the 2nd side of the sky. Now it makes a lit more sense.
In my planning, I wanted to make the inner-most green triangles purple. But where the tutorial had us start, I thought I was working on the rows of double green triangles. Once I had that inner quad done, I didn't want to go back and re-work with the purple triangles. This is good enough for me!
Block 80 - Single Wedding Star
Nothing much to say about this one, but that I like how it has some motion to it, with the star spinning. I love that mottled leafy green print, too. And this was the last of the purple.
Block 98 - Waterwheel
If I were to do this one over, I think I'd have chosen a lighter blue for those corner blocks.
By my calculations, I think I have about 60 blocks now. That's about halfway to the 111 total needed.
