    Here are my first 3 blocks… need to start the next section now. I’m using my stash because it needs to be used so I can get more fabric! Ha!

      All caught up, I’ve done the borders as well. They’re not posted. I’m looking forward to the final blocks. I’m working from stash.

                  Linda, You just need to hit the word Latest Activity. That will get you to the most current post. If you scroll down your cute little
                  blocks are there. Nice Job!!! If you just hit on the topic there are 10 pages of posts and it takes you to the oldest one. You would have to scroll thru 10 pages to get to yours. HelenW

                Started another project, and decided to do foundation paper piecing instead of following the directions. Easy to draw it up
                and changed the blocks from 16 to 14 inches and made the applique 87% which is the correct size for a 14 inch block.
                Only posting the idea, because I know there are a lot of beginner paper piecers out there doing Alex's Sampler and it never
                hurts to get other ideas that will get your creative juices flowing. HelenW

                  Blocks from Monday.

                  Comment


                    I've been using fabrics from my stash for this project. Mostly Batiks. Here's the ones I've finished so far. Planning on some machine applique work or circle work in the center of the square in a square blocks, just for kicks and giggles.

                      Got caught up, ready for Monday and the New York Beauty

                      Comment


                        Here is my first block. Never been successful with this before but Alex’s directions are spot on.
                        Now I will take my supplies to my all day sewing group on Monday and get caught up. Sorry my pic is so bad. I will try to resize better in my next post but you get the idea.

                              I finished some kaleidoscope blocks. I had trouble figuring out what two halves went together and how they related to the other parts of the block. I think I made them either too bright or too dark, not sure which. I am going to add some of that bright orange to my New York Beauty blocks to make them integrate more. ( I finally figured out why I couldn’t post this morning, I wasn’t logged in! Darn so simple but so hard! Gotta love technology!
                              Thanks for the classes and artistic view of fabrics!
