Wow! Even though February is a short month, I am ready for it to be over. Record cold and snow in my area and today is my birthday.....! 🎂 Just FYI....there would be a lot more candles on my cake than this emoji shows!!!!!!
I finished my Yellow Bow tie blocks and Yellow Sprout blocks and decided to join the Tiny Tuesday group. The blocks are 5" and then they are framed to become 7.5". I showed some of my others in this post but here is the tiny flower block I made this week.
I am not particularly fond of tiny little squares and HST. I mean I like them, I am just not good at making them. But the directions from Academic Quilter made it fairly easy. Especially when I remembered to read every line and trim the blocks as directed.
These little leaf parts were to trimmed to 1-1/4 inches and then sewn to make a 2 inch square!
Not much trimmed off, but some tiny little triangles and some slivers!
That's a nickel to give some size comparison. I worried when I selected the pink fabric. It had some flowers that were kind of yellowish....they did not show at all, by the time I trimmed to size. Just a lovely dusty pink!
I lost one little point when I put the diagonal setting triangles on, but I am happy with this lovely block, so outside my comfort zone!
I'll be linking up to So Scrappy Saturday for RSC 19.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy






Your little block turned out perfect!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Your Tuesday flower looks great! I had the same reaction to all those tiny pieces as you did - I love the look of them, but feel a bit "fumble fingers" when working with them.
ReplyDeleteYour flower turned out perfect! Happy birthday!
