I've been working on my blocks from the Little Blocks 365 quilt along. These are 3 inch blocks constructed using the foundation paper piecing method. The organizer, Sentimental Stitches, releases seven new blocks every Friday and after a year, you will have 365 blocks. I'm enjoying this project, though foundation paper piecing is not my favorite method so I have pieced some the simpler blocks using traditional piecing.
This is where I was at my last update:
This is where I am today:
Sorry for that glare; the sun was shining in the window behind my "design boards." To keep organized, I'm working on my blocks in rainbow color order, currently tackling yellow and green. I only need 56 blocks for my setting so I don't make every block released, just those that especially appeal to me. And I've subbed in a few favorite blocks from other sources, like the heart.
I need seven more blocks to complete my planned setting, though I will probably make more so I can be picky and just include the best ones in the final quilt. I'm getting a lot of enjoyment out of this quilt along and may join another next year.
Your blocks are so pretty! The rainbow effect is really nice. I have stalled out making mine mainly because I can't figure out what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteLove how youve taken these blocks in a whole new direction.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun project. Some of them look like quite a challenge at that little size too. So pretty!
