Nothing for over a month, and then two posts in five minutes. I wanted to get these blocks recorded now, while it is still (just) March.
These were Tacha's blocks, the person who put together the Bee Europa group. She said that her family didn't like her choice very much - I think that they look great and will make a really interesting fun quilt.
I sort of liked making them, except my machine didn't like the print fabric, it kept chewing it up, which was a little worrying, as again, no spare fabric to play with. I don't know what the problem is/was, the fabric is thinner than the other stuff I have been sewing with, but it shouldn't have been a problem with the new super-duper machine. :-( Am a bit sad, perhaps it was having a bad moment. Lots of joins and ironing. Tacha very reassuringly told as she wasn't worried about a bit of wonkiness and all the points being perfect. Still, these are a little wonkier than I had hoped they would be.
Next month, it's going to be wonky log cabin quarter blocks for Muriel - great! I'm wondering if precision isn't my strong point...
