After all that drama I needed some simple block therapy, hence today's block.
Print or trace the block diagram onto foundation paper, number, and cut out as in the photo.

Foundation piece all the numbered sections. Trim the seam allowances to ¼" all around. Cut the unnumbered sections out of fabric, leaving a ¼" seam allowance as well.

Assemble the "diamond" section by sewing all four sections together.

OH OH. I see that 5 hr. block in the near future. Can you tell us which one is was?
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing.
ReplyDelete~a
I love this block. So pretty. When will you disclose the difficult block to us?
ReplyDeleteI too want to know what the difficult block was. I am going to guess E-11. I have tried that one four times, with not getting the type of results I want.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is complicated. I can understand why it took more than one try! One of about 200 reasons why I will never be doing this quilt. =)
ReplyDeleteOh, boy. The anticipation is getting to me now! Do we get to see the mysterious difficult block tomorrow? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a quilter but enjoy reading your posts and seeing how its done... the blocks look great
