UGRR #5

Block #6 will be the Sail Boat. Please turn to page 122 and look at the beautiful quilt made just from this one block. OK...now read pages 123-127. This block went together so nicely, I'm tempted to make a whole quilt of it myself. You will have one extra hst block, so why not put it in an envelope and send it off for a chance to win a stained glass window? Not much else to say on this one. Let us know if you have any questions....if not...see you next month!

I love the sail boat mine turned out great is a real keeper thinking of more in another quilt I love this block and it does go together very nicely

Well that one looks easier than the wagon wheel and drukards path. I can probably whip that out in no time at all.

[Peaches]

zfatcat-this really is a simple block. I would recommend it as a first hst block for anyone as you only need a few and you can get rid of the worst one! I didn't like Wagon Wheel-would have liked a Dresden Plate, but that's personal preference. I ironed, cut, sewed and squared Sailboat in about 15 minutes.

I think the sail boat has been the easiest block yet in this sampler. A fun one,too.

Wow that's fast Peaches. I like the BOM. You get to work on many projects and eventually finish them. Less stress. I like it.

[Peaches]

I like the BOM format...somethimes it seems so slow, but you can work towards a goal. Some of the later blocks will be more challenging, but so far wer're doing OK!!! This block was too much fun. I wish I had grandbabies to sew for. Sigh...that's a whole new can of worms.
How are the rest of you comming along?

Please post some pictures. I would love to see them. I have the book now, just not the right type of fabric. But that sailboat sounds really cute.

Yo, Peaches!! It's almost August - what's next?? I am so excited about how well my blocks are turning out, but I really value your great 'lesson plans', and am anxious for the next block.
