Egg Money BOM - Block Ten - Friendship - Updated June 1, 2008

Post by Evie » Thu Apr 03, 2008 11:06 am

Well, got my friendship blocks done! Phew! We took pictures of the fronts, but no way will I let any one see the backs! Did anyone else have trouble with which way the seams should go? Maybe it should be renamed Drunken Seams!

Other than with keeping seams going in the correct direction, this block isn't hard to do. Just takes a while to cut out all those little squares - 32 for each block. Since I did 3 blocks, that's 96 of those little demons, I mean squares.

Here they are:

Thimbleberries - controlled scrappy

Image


Batiks - wildly scrappy

Image


1930's Reproductions - girly scrappy

Image



Next block due July 1st (or there abouts)!



----------------------------------------

There goes my New Year's resolution! I don't have my blocks done and I don't know when I will. I need to work on my Sun Bonnet Sue's and my Saturday Sampler. Also, need to get ready for Paducah.

Should we take this month off and do Block Ten in May? Does anyone else have too much going on?

Evie, you are so great at keeping up with the BOM. I am a few blocks behind so if you want to take a break that is okay with me. It may give me a chance to catch up, if I can get some of my other stuff finished.

I may go ahead and do it, as I don't get to go to Paducah (sniff, sniff) Working on the ugly fabric swap and need to get something quilted, I'll see how it goes as it might be May before I can get to it :o)

Evie, once more you have made some amazing blocks. They are all so pretty, the batik one came out really interesting.

They all look great Evie! There are alot of little pieces in this one and matching seams was a pain, having to repress half in the opposite direction after you have already pressed in one, I am glad this one is over :o)

Here is my block - just doing one!
