Here’s my block for May. (The picture isn’t the best.) I used the paper foundation method and it worked well for me. I hate measuring and cutting lots of little pieces. So any time I can paper piece, I’m all for it! I’ve only had time to make the one block. We had a crawfish boil at my house this weekend and getting ready to have 50 guests has taken most of my time the last several weeks. Hopefully now I can get back to...

Here’s my one block for this month’s lotto drawing.  Members are posting such beautiful...

It is dark and gray here, the photo makes my blues look so dark too. I cut the triangles bigger than needed. That way I could trim them down. I put the 3 3/4 line at the top and bottom of the square points, then made sure I had a quarter inch beyond the square. Then I used the lines on the cutting board to make the opposite cut. And rechecking the 3 3/4 line, the quarter in extra line AND the 7 1/2 inch line.  I think I ran out of true blues to...

Love the photos and how the different shades of blue look together….and I had the perfect scraps left over from my nephew’s quilt! Definitely one of those months I wish I had more time to make more (sigh). Another fantastic block Sophie! Thank you, Helen Nashville,...

I started making the Diagonal Bars blocks for my Mod-Mod Throw quilt, using the Rainbow Scraps Challenge color of the month: Green.  Here’s my first of eight blocks. A couple of quilters have emailed me about their problems with the block coming out the wrong size, so, as I made this block, I paid close attention at each step looking for answers for them. Technically speaking, when you put a 5 inch square (the finished size of the 5 bars...

Two done before breakfast:-)  I have a huge selection of blue fabric, so I will definitely make more this...

I have so much blue in my stash I’m surprised I stopped at...

Here are 3 blocks for me this month.  I usually piece blocks for block lotto, as it is good for me to practice good piecing techniques, but this time I am really busy, so went for the paper piecing instead.  Thanks, Sophie, for providing that choice.   Doubt if I get time for more, you see, we moved back here to be closer to our 4 grandsons, and this is baseball season – we have 3 playing, each in their own age group.  Keeps their mother,...

Six blocks for this month.  I never realized my blues were not as true as I...

  Here are 6 blue blocks for May.  The bottom right hand one is light, but not nearly so light as in the photo. Photos are funny things!  I’ll donate my chances this month, but this is definitely a block to look at...
