Charm pack quilt back

Not to be outdone, Riley provided expert assistance with the pieced back for the quilt top. I’ve only done the color strips so far and will need another session to finish assembling the back.

With a little help from Gabby, I put together the charm pack quilt top. I had to run out and get more white fabric. It seems that nearly all the numbers in the tutorial are off, at least in my hands.

flowering snowball

The flowering snowball quilt is all done and winging it’s way to it’s final destination. Riley and Gabby gave it their stamp of approval before I sent it on it’s way.

I haven’t really made friends with the curvemaster foot just yet but we did make good progress over the course of assembling blocks for the flowering snowball quilt. I discovered I need to move my needle position one to the left and that I work better without the tweezers. My concave curved piece needs to be on top and I need to stretch it slightly on the cut edge as I sew. I tried to take a few photos to remind myself how to do it but it’s tough to sew and take pictures at the same time. I wasn’t too sure about the blocks as I was assembling them individually but once I got them all together I really loved the result. I’m planning to stitch in the ditch along the edges of the blocks and then stitch along the edges of the pink pieces that form circles.

 

Farmer’s Wife progress

Here are three more blocks for the Farmer’s Wife quilt. The center block needs to be ripped and redone. My scant 1/4 is a little too scant. Sometimes it doesn’t matter but in this case it would clip off the points of my little squares. By the end of the year I should really know my 1/4-inch seam quite well!

and what would I do without my helpers?
