Today I have achieved a few of the things I had to do, and a few that I wanted to do. I had attached the binding to my embroidery pouch before breakfast, done the weekly shop before lunch and then when the plates were cleared away, I got on and made Jo's block for Brit Bee.
A mixture of mostly Liberty print and low volume triangles, and the instruction to arrange in any way we saw fit. I immediately saw a hexagon.
I am still of the opinion that bias stretch is an urban myth, so my block came together really easily. Some of my points are a little out, but I hope Jo is as forgiving as the fabric from arm's length!
Seeing as it was alternating between rain showers and gale force winds today, I had to resort to indoor shots...

I am In love with your block! Go on, you could just pop my name on the return envelope - no-one would know! 'Cept maybe Jo and everybody else. Poo not such a hot idea! Gorgeous all the same!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic block. And the star wars props go just perfectly!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty! I love how in one shot it looks like it's made with white fabric, and the other it looks off-white or beige - and ALWAYS love Liberty!
ReplyDelete"bias stretch is an urban myth" grrrrr. Tis not, you're just exceptionally clever... Beautiful block though :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a stunner of a block! I haven't even got my fabric yet! Jxo
ReplyDeleteSo not an urban myth, but I have a plan, and it involves a large bottle of starch - bwahahahahaha. Saying that, I haven't got my fabric yet either...
ReplyDeleteReally pretty block H, good work, and a disappointing weather day for the start of the holiday weekend, fingers crossed it improves tomorrow and Monday! :o)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful block, can't think of a clever SW pun.xx
ReplyDeleteThe block is lovely, I'm getting tempted with a triangle quilt, triangles seem better than HSTs for some reason. Love the Lego star wars characters. I'm sure Lego was just bricks when we were kids!
ReplyDeletegorgeous block!!
ReplyDeleteYour block is lovely and I think bias stretch is an urban myth although I think thread cutters really help!
ReplyDeleteStunning as always! Love your little star wars guys!
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves a corny Star Wars pun! Your last photo makes me so happy!

" no bias stetch" for you Obi, 'cos you can clearly have the force. But for us non Jedi masters, it is a curse.
ReplyDeleteLove the block, but love the comment about bias even more. I totally ignore any instruction that tells me to cut on the bias, and I've never noticed a problem. God, keep me in ignorance on this one issue please, as it really saves me a lot of trouble!
ReplyDeletebeautiful bee block.
ReplyDeleteI hope the fourth was with you too
