NEW SAMPLER SERIES AT ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

It’s a new month, which means it’s time for another class for the New Sampler Series held at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Above is the block that I worked on all afternoon ..... ALL AFTERNOON!  Good grief, most of you could probably knock this out in an hour.  I don’t know what it is with me and piecing.

I was careful.  Read all the instructions over several times before I even made that first cut.  I measured and re-measured and squared up each individual unit.  Everything was working beautifully until I came to the center block.  There were no instructions as to where to place the triangles on the square.  After I made the unit, I realized it would not work because it should have turned out 4 ½” and was only about 4".  I tried using larger triangles.  As you can see, that did not work.  Notice the hole to the right of the scissors.  I finally made a larger center block, attached the triangles and measured to the size I needed.  I sewed all units together and wanted to scream!  My points were cut off as you can see in the first picture!  I finally just finished the block and said heck with it.  I’ll find out from Chris when I attend class what I did wrong.  I hope no one else has this problem.

ON A HAPPIER NOTE:  Sew Lux Fabrics has a tutorial for a portable changing pad.  It would make a great gift!

Until next time,
