More Sew Along

Last night was "catch up" time on the Marcus Brother's Sew Along, link here.


I'm showing my progress here


So that you can vicariously get a sense of my process.


Paula Barnes, of Red Crinoline Quilts (formerly Bonnie Blue Quilts) did a great job with this block!


The steps were many, but they were easy to get perfect results.


I am committing heresy here. Sorry, Marcus Brothers, but this was on top of the rockpile.


This is Paula's design:


But I was up for trying another design tweak. This is my playing around with the corner HST's, but I put it back, I liked hers better!


All sewn up!


Now starched and pressed.


Flipped to measure...ahhh! Perfect!


Sew happy with the block!



A special "Thank you" is going out to Sarah at Homestead Hearth's Blog. My comment made me a winner of this neat McCall's Quilting magazine!


As ever, my favorite view from my easy chair is to gaze upon a lazy lady Labrador. Miss Raven awoke as I snapped the picture.


 I pray for the family of Robin Williams, may God rest his soul. He will be greatly missed.

Happy sewing.
