These blocks look simple, but for me - an improvisationally-challenged type of quilter, they were not. I like to follow a process...and repeat it over and over until I'm done. Usually I cut, cut, cut, sew, sew, sew, press, press, press, and repeat. Once I figured out that I had to cut, sew, press, cut, sew, press I was on my way!
Isn't it funny how such a simple change in how we approach something can make such a big difference?
I love making these scrappy blocks...these two have prints from my current favorite line, Echo. My eggplant ovals from Art Gallery are in here, a bit of Essex Linen (Aqua and Natural) and some other choice scraps. After seeing the lovely pile o' blocks that Beth was collecting, I cannot wait to see her finished quilt!
