This last week I have been working on these three blocks and they have been rather a struggle -
As I said before, the square blocks are just a matter of coping with fairly small pieces and sewing them together in the normal way.
I had been rather dreading the Sunflower block because cutting its very small pieces needed pin point accuracy, but the first problem was to figure out how to draft it! Fortunately I found a 360 degree Angle Measure in Staples and I did it without too much trouble. I pieced it without papers (unlike the original which would have been paper pieced) and it went together like a dream.
It was a different story with the third block. I worked it partly over papers to get the defined heart shapes, but I didn't get it right. The hearts still weren't defined enough, so I'm doing it again.
Until next time!
