PINWHEELS - Quilt Top Blocks

 

 

These are 9 x 9 inches.

I've been making pinwheel blocks again.

Pinwheels are easy to make; the exception being that the centers might not always result in EXACT points.

 

Loving how this wonderful feather fabric correlates with the birds fabric. This combination was a last-minute, WOW thought.

 

Loving the Red, White and Blue -AMERICANA -Patriotic look.

 

Bear Paws and Nine Patch

Quilt Blocks

 

Turkey Red / Crimson and White.

 

Red and white with stars.

 

 

Making Bear's Paw blocks are not necessarily the easiest blocks to make; and are VERY time-consuming; however, I don't occasionally mind the challenge. 

 

 

Making 9 / Nine-Patch blocks are almost one of my favorites.

Getting a 100% seam-match isn't always easy, but, I don't mind ripping, sometimes.  Thanks to whomever invented the seam ripper.

 

 

Another  Beautiful Tooth Bank

Great to store teeth, and whatever the tooth-fairy brings.

Charlie Brown - Snoopy - Soccer  - Table Placemats

~ REVERSIBLE Scrappy, Hand - Appliqued Hearts ~

 

I attached colorful strips of cotton fabric to the backgrounds.

 

With the raw-edge method, I then hand-appliqued hearts to the fronts of these lovely placemats.

 

The beautiful borders are double-bind with red fabric. 

 

The backs are done in a gorgeous farm scene.

Lovely double-bind borders.

 

The hand-appliqued apple stitching  was done so as to show on the back of the work.

 

 

 

Ever Cooked Fish Casserole?

That's what is currently giving my oven a work-out.

 

The ingredients are: fish, broccoli, cauliflower, purple onion, carrots, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, etc.

 

 

Done, and partially ingested.  Yummy.

 

 

 

Pinwheels

Quilt Blocks.

I have made many a pinwheels; and love doing them.

Annie's Choice Quilt Block

12 x 12 inches.

 

This is my first attempt at making this particular quilt block; and it turned out quite proper.

 

 

 

I did not work from a pattern, and on my first try, the block turned out to be only 6 1/4 by 6 1/4 inches. My attempt was for a block that would be, at least, ten inches. (guess I should return to math school)

 

Loving the black and white, and the dandelions.

 

The 6 1/4 block is below.

Working with those tiny squares....
