One June Block to Donate

Posted by mariellajo on June 28, 2014 in blocks | 2 comments

I just don’t see how I can get any more blocks completed before the end of this month. June just whizzed by and now company is coming to visit so, even though, I really really really want to make another block or two I don’t think it’s good form to go sewing up in my room with guests in the house!! LOL!!! So here is one at least to donate to the lottery. I first made an arc and well, I didn’t notice that I needed to put the setting for my printer to 100% – then I measured the background pattern and found it didn’t measure out to 7″ – Then I went and checked the printer settings on the computer………OOOPPPSSSS I needed to click the circle for “Print to 100%”…….DRAT!!!! anyway that has solved a mystery that has been bothering me about the block patterns!!! The other blocks I’ve made…..I noticed that there was a size discreptancy, so I drew the other blocks up in Electric Quilt Program….but I most admit I completely forgot about that little fact with the June Block…..SO any way my first attempt was a great learning curve!!!! Ok here’s my June Block. I read the tutorial but really didn’t know how to convert it to this block so I just sewed the half circle center in and the outer background. It turned out OK, not perfect, but OK.
