Patchique' blocks #27 and #114
Today , Amanda and I have passed the halfway mark in making the blocks in her "Patchique' Quilt Project" Journey.
Listen... Is that my dear hubby calling out to me, " I say, dear, this calls for a celebration.... time to place a huge fabric order in honor of this momentous occasion! "
{Oh wait... I was just daydreaming for a minute there...}
This week's patchwork block: #27 Hira yotsu me (translated Four flat squares)
This block as 27 pieces, and since I have my scant quarter inch foot and machine settings "nailed", it came together so smoothly!

The applique' block: #114 Kikuhs (Chrysanthemum circle)
I had fun making this large flower into a block! I got to pick out 8 different fabrics, and a center feature fabric , to fussy cut. I used my Moda Martinique fabric for the center.
(Hey, I just noticed "Martinique" has the "-ique" ending like applique! A perfect fabric for this quilt!) (You can see that I am easily amused!)

And here are the two blocks, side by side. Two fun to make blocks! I just know I'll be making these blocks again in the future.

You can see the blocks that Amanda, The Patchsmith, is making here. Her fabrics are so pretty and her quilt is going to be gorgeous,... and so Patchsmith!!

Such pretty blocks! It is fun to see this quilt grow!! Is this a year plus long project? And did you do the blanket stitch by hand or machine?
ReplyDeleteI am loving these blocks - your chrysanthemum block is stunning. You've managed to combine western patchwork with Eastern style. Very nicely done Susie.
