Block 53 – ‘Whirling in Circles’ designed
by Deb Roberts. A double pinwheel
patchwork block – quite a lot for a little 6” block but good fun nonetheless.

Block 54 – ‘Shell’
designed by Jane Davidson. A paper-pieced block I wasn’t sure about until I made it and then I loved it.

Block 55 – ‘Dedication Rose’ – a
Lisa Bongean block. I love this block so
much – one of my favourites from all the blocks so far. It harks back to the traditional applique
blocks of the 19th century.

Block 56 – ‘At Home Anywhere’. I wasn’t sure about this block design by JenniferKeltner. And I wasn’t sure my fabric
choices were good. However, the
Splenderettes in the Facebook group got me thinking otherwise and now I see a
pink cloud, raining flowers. I love
living in a fabric world.

Block 57 – ‘Starting Point’. If block 58 showcases the paper-piecing
method then this block showcases patchwork.
A traditional, simple block from Lissa Alexander which brings it down to fabric choices and
placement.

Block 58 – ‘Homeward Bound’. This block design by Kelly Liddle epitomises
why paper-piecing is such a good method for some designs. It is
an easy block to paper-piece but would be a horror if using any other method.

Until
next time .........
Every block in this post is just fabulous! I think your stitching skills have been perfected by all of your daily block-making...and now you have several gorgeous collections!
ReplyDeleteOh my - they have Amy. I look back at my early designs and early stitchings and giggle. I leave the photos on-line as it is all part-and-parcel of my journey. But I have you to thank for my first every mug rug swap. xxxx
DeleteStunning blocks, Amanda!! They are just so perfect and precious!! My favorite this post has to be the Homeward Bound block !! <3 <3

It is an easy paper-pieced block Susie - you would find it really easy. I have seen some cushions where four blocks are put together and they look stunning.
DeleteBeautiful blocks Amanda! I must start getting caught up on mine now that I am settled into my new house! Have a great week! Christine x
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine. A new home is always exciting - so many walls on which to hang super-dooper embroidery. But I am guessing you have it all mapped out already.
