I am slowly going through my purple/lavender scraps. I did not think I had a lot left after En Provence back a few years. But my little shoebox bin is still full!!!
My three purple Tiny Tuesday blocks. Gosh, these have been so great! Challenging, yes, but I feel my piecing and cutting have improved in the process! Thank you, thank you, Angela and the other bloggers who have pitched it with block designs.
And of course, I have the necessary six Bow Tie Blocks. This one is getting close to being able to put up on the design wall and put together.
I have one Scrappy Sprouts block done and one on the mini design board. The one on the bottom is together, the to-be-sewn is on the top.
The whole block should be 6 1/2 inches square, which means the outside edge square should be
2 1/4. See how the zig zag pinked edges are outside the ruler. Extra trimming required. Sometimes I make sure the little minis are 2 1/2 inches before I start to piece them. Just a little rant!
That's it for ScrapHappy Saturday!. I will link this up to Angela's post.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy
Today is another Flag Football game for our 6 year old great grandson. It's 44 degrees right now and its drizzle ing! It's 7:55 AM the game is at 9AM. I don't hold out much hope for improvement. The forecast is for a high of 55
Pretty purple blocks, Judy! Your Tiny Tuesdays are great! My Storm at Sea turned out a little bit too big - maybe because I printed it at the wrong size. I think I can trim up the sashing a little more. I have noticed the same thing with those pinked edges of the precuts- frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI hear your frustration with the pinked edges of pre-cuts. I'm never quite sure how to sew those. Your PURPLE blocks still look really good!
ReplyDeleteIt does seem that the pre-cuts are not 100% accurate. I've had large ones as well as small ones. For supposedly saving time, when my blocks don't measure up I'm actually losing time. Anyhoooo, all your purple blocks are looking good!
