Blocks 12, 13, 14, and 15

Block 12


Block 13


Block 14


Block 15

I managed to get caught up last night - just in time.  I apologize for what I was thinking, that I 'd much rather do circles than the fiddly bits of some of the last few blocks.  I didn't know what was coming next!  At least I have a month to get all the grapes done.  The 'fingers' above the buds/berries in blocks 12 and 14 really didn't seem very difficult, though.

I left the bud and leaf off the center flower on block 15 that hang over the vase.  After doing the first one, I decided it wouldn't show enough.  I also did three layers on the center flower instead of five so my fabrics would show.  As I've said before, reverse applique is not my favorite but I did it.  The yellow I used for the background on those pieces has a red print in it and, in a few of the sections, the print is the part that shows.

Now on to cutting circles.

  1. You have been working hard behind the scenes. I love what you've done. All your blocks are so harmonious. Block 12 and Block 14 seem to be identical patterns with the inner circle left out of #14. Looking forward to seeing what you do with No 16.

  4. OMG! I just checked out the new block. Is it not enough that we have to do a thousand circles for the borders?!!! I am not sure this block is going to get done in a timely manner. It might be one that will be worked on throughout the rest of the blocks. (sigh)

  8. Your blocks look fabulous, you've got enough to share a pic of them laid out together. Please? Janet, I'm going to go with an average size, probably 5/8" as that is what I've been making for block 7.

  9. Is the sentimentalstitches.net site still working? When I enter it, I get a website for sale type page, am I doing something wrong?
