It’s Modern Monday Quilt Along today. I don’t know where the week goes. I almost didn’t get this block done in time. Of course, when I saw all the piecing required I kept putting it off. Sunday afternoon I decided I better tackle it. What a mess. It isn’t wonky enough to suit me. Maybe, cutting off the tips of the chevrons counts as wonky. No? Besides that, this block was supposed to be 6 1/2” square. It turned out a quarter inch short on one side. Oh, well, I’m sure I can fit it in some way. My piecing is a joke!
Want to see how an expert does it? Check out Lynn’s block at
Alamosa Quilter. Then go see what pattern
Jennifer has for us this week.
Oh Fransson has a unique way to handle those small blocks. Check out her Stamp Collection tutorial.
Until next time,

I am not a very good at piecing ... I guess that is why I like applique!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good, though, Caroll! I think blocks made with half-square triangles are hard to keep square!
ReplyDeletei agree with you, this block is not as wonky as the others.
ReplyDeleteI wonder about using fusibles...when I wash blouses with fusibles under the buttons, eventually it frays and puckers. Is this a problem with something like this? I stay far away from the stuff because I fear what will happen down the road.
