I'm finally back to this today I've been making these 'whimsy' blocks on & off now since June last year. They are from a quilt in Judy Newman's new book, 'quilts made for life made with love'- see here for more details. I'm using lots of large florals and blending itty bitty prints. There are a couple of cheeky inset seams which I seem to have mastered now. I've found I need to use a scant 1/4" seam and pressing all the little sections as I go really helps. And machine piecing them goes a lot smoother if I leave adding those red & white stripe corner triangles til the very last. With these four new blocks I've got a total of 25 now . . . and here's a group photo so far . . . Catching up with Emily for 'moving it forward' over here at emsscrapbag and linking up today with Lorna here at sewfreshquilts for 'let's bee social' Happy sewing, Linda
