Block Talk in October

Block Talk - Patchique blocks #13 and #93

Amanda and I are getting close to finishing up the blocks for our Patchique Quilt Project... Sewing Along with The Patchsmith.   I have 2 more new  blocks to add to my pile of Japanese Taupe Quilt inspired blocks...

Making blocks from the book  Japanese Taupe Quilts
by Susan Briscoe

Block #13:  Yottsu masu  (means Four square measures):

Block #13  from the book 

This was a fun block to make.  We make four smaller blocks, and sew them together.  There are 76 pieces of fabric in this 9 1/2 inch block!

Here is my interpretation of the Four square measures # 13:

 Block #93:  Hosenji kiri guruma ( which means Elongated paulownia wheel):

Block #93 from the book

And this is my  block #93 -  Elongated paulownia wheel-

This block was also fun to create.   
What does my  layout look like so far?   I will be adding sashes and a block in each outer corner, too....

I measured my bed ,  and I think I'd like to have my quilt measure at  96 in x 96 in.  

Stop by to visit on Wednesday.... I'll be "Mixing it up" a bit....

I'm off to my sewing room!
