| Block 4 |
Moving right along. . . . This block didn't hold my interest all that much and I had trouble focusing on it. I think it's the repetition of the large shapes. I like the finished block but it wasn't as interesting to stitch. Did anyone else have this problem?
I'm curious about how you all are doing your vines, stems, etc. I'm making bias strips. Are you all doing the same or cutting the shapes instead? Some of those curves are tight!
Wrapped?!! I haven't even started thinking of Christmas yet. As for the vines...I am making 1/4" bias tape so far. As for the block, yes, I guess it was a little boring to make and that was because of the "big" pieces, but I think it is still my favorite block for some reason. I love yours. Your fabric choices seem to make it "move".
ReplyDeleteI really like this block too, and chose to be a rebel and start the series doing this one. I cut the bias for the stems last night so will be trying to do the tight corners tonight. Love your stripey bias.I really enjoyed sewing the big oak leaves, nice relaxing curves.
ReplyDeleteThis looks deceptively simple. I am using 1/4" bias and I will use lots of spray starch to get the curves. Yours looks impressive, striped vine and leaf is a great choice.
ReplyDeleteMary, that is a beautiful. I hope to start my first block soon :(! I only received my pattern last week - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic Mary!! I struggled with using the solid fabric on this block. I love the print!!
