This week I have two Patchique' Blocks and two Sew Kitschy BoMs to share with you.
Patchique' Block #2 : Shima ichimatsu (which means Stripe Check)
 |
| #2 Stripe Check from the Book |
I followed the helpful tips that Amanda, The Patchsmith , has explained in her blog post , since this block is made up of 36 two-inch squares. It involves sewing the two fabrics in 2 inch strips together, and cutting that new strip crosswise. I was happy that it all turned out, using my scant quarter inch.

Patchique' Block #106: Ken giku (which means Sword-petaled chrysanthemum)
 |
| Block #106 Sword-petaled chrysanthemum from book |
This block is basically a dresden plate, with 16 petals. I wanted the flower to be brown, with green and red colors to be featured. I started sewing, and held my breath when it came to adding the last petal into the circle... and the petals fit in beautifully. Whew!

wow that sword petaled is awesome, I love the colors. Your kitchen blocks are turning out wonderfully too
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks Susie! I adore your color sense!
ReplyDeleteThe dresden/sword petaled flower is lovely. Also think the kitchen paper pieced blocks are adorable. I had not seen anyone doing that project. Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteThe sashiko prints in the chrysanthemum block really lend a Japanese air to the block. (I always picture Anne of Green Gables spelling chrysanth-E-mum in my mind when I type that word.) Your Sew Kitschy blocks look fabulous as always. The fabrics and colors you chose are spot on. Looking forward to seeing the last block!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks Susie!!! You are in the home stretch with Sew Kitchsy! I better make sure I have downloaded the August block as it is about to be September in Aus
ReplyDeleteLove all your blocks. They show what a multi talented lady you are.
ReplyDeleteYou applique blocks and you pp blocks are equally beautiful. I specially love the Sword-petaled chrysanthemum.
