As I'd hoped, this evening I was able to finish the enormous Mystery block... it's 21" square! Talk about the antithesis of the mini Farmer's Wife blocks I am going to attempt in the near future!
This one came together quite easily in the end, I cut and hoped for the best on the star points, and only one of them refused to meet in the right place, but it gets lost in the pattern, phew!
So I am content that the super-duper sewing machine is in good working order, although a little perturbed to find out that it doesn't rectify my dodgy cutting, or do the washing up!
Here are the whole gang so far...
Anyone familiar with the Heather Bailey fabrics will know they are a lot more vibrant than my photos imply... the nights are drawing in don't you know!
Now, what can I sew next...
If my machine was broken I would be tempted to sew my kids into their beds! Love summer but hate the late night daylight thing. They just will not go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteGet yourself going on the Farmer's Wife then and leave me in the dust. I may have to get the cheapo Singer out of the garage just to satisfy my urge to make these little blocks.
Oh boy thats big! Know what you mean though, the Nicey Jane is gorgeous but I could never get a photy I thought did it justice either! Its gonna be lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a very nice block. When you find a sewing machine that does our cutting and washing, please let me know! I want one, too!
ReplyDeleteThese are looking great...you must be so organised to get all this work done with those little munchkins too!
ReplyDeletelooks fab! you need to take a picture outside with no flash so I can appreciate the fabric loveliness!
ReplyDeleteWow! It sure is big, until you put it beside the others I did not really realize how big. Your blocks are wonderful all together.

ReplyDeleteFab block, imagine if you were doing a quilt with just these larger blocks, you'd have one done in 6 blocks!! HB fabrics are lovely, pic doesn't do them justice. Jxo

ReplyDeleteAll your blocks look great! I planned to do this QAL but haven't even managed to choose my fabrics yet! Too many projects, not enough time........
