Month 3–New Appliqué Blocks
In Month 3 we get one of Sue’s favorite blocks—Twirly Balls. See how to make it easily:

Was looking over the March tips for Block 10 and was confused a bit. Sorry. Was curious because didn't see about when to add the step to put the B2 points? Might be overthinking this, but would appreciate helpful comments. Fun quilt so far. Enjoying the applique blocks (still need to work on the shoo-fly ones).

Barbara, Thank you for the wonderful explanation with pictures of the Twirly Balls on your blog.
I wonder how many people are making this quilt that don't use the forum. Maybe you could post your
tips as a download on the page where the BOM pattern is posted or if that is too much trouble, at least
post your blog website there so members find your help with all the excellent ideas you have
for making the quilt. I am sure there are a lot quilters struggling along that would appreciate having you
as their mentor on this pattern.I know you are beyond busy, busy, busy so I understand if you can't do it.
Just an idea that popped into my head. HelenW

Thanks, Helen. I have passed on your suggestion to the TQS folks. It’s not about me or my blog, though I do put lots of time into trying to explain ways to make these blocks. I am always looking for ways to teach quiltmaking in ways that help people be successful.

AnnetteJ - There are special instructions for Block 10 on p. 2 of Month 3 instructions... but they are not quite clear.
With Block 10, first center the P3 outer ring fabric on the center of the background fabric.
Applique it in place. Next, applique a circle of P4 fabric inside the P3 outer ring. Evenly place
the spiral rays of print fabric P3 in position atop the P4 circle. When you have them arranged
appropriately, baste and applique all of these pieces in place, turning under the spiral units
along their curved edges, and turning the end of the spiral units under along with the P4 fabric
circle. Finally, applique a P4 circle in the center of the spiral array.

Linda’s suggestion would work as would Sue’s instructions. It would be a bit challenging to turn under the spiral rays along the curve of the P4 circle after P4 was appliquéd in place, as Linda said.
If I were doing this one with needle turn I would try Linda’s suggestion—appliqué spiral rays to a P4 circle, then appliqué that unit to the center of the block.

Sawdust, I would love to see a picture of your Happy Daze quilt. I looked it up and saw that it is another Sue Garman pattern.
You probably are an expert. Do you have any tips or tricks that you learned as you made it. What techniques did you use?
Raw edge applique, needle turn etc. I am posting a picture of the one I saw on line so others can see how great those twirly balls
look when they are feature applique in a quilt. I also loved the other quilt Sue designed with twirly balls. HelenW
