QuiltCon Challenge Block {Design-my own} |
Last time I made outlined triangles was a total disaster, so I knew that I was going to have to find a new technique this time. I won't lie. I had a lot of failures just trying to figure out the best way to piece this block. This was my third finished block. The first one was a total mess. Nothing lined up, seriously. I almost cried making it. The second one was much better, but the size was way off. I think I finally "mastered" the outlined triangle. The only thing I would change would be trimming more of the corners. That center vertical line was really tough to get to lay flat.
I'm gonna get this puppy in the mail today. I know I haven't blogged much the last couple of weeks, but I have been sewing- quite a lot, actually. School started this week. With no kids in the house, I plan on a lot more sewing time. I promise to blog it all!
This looks great! Love your triangles. Maybe a tutorial when life slows down a bit? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have a thing for triangles, but I HATE working with them! I could probably be talked into doing a tutorial... :)
DeleteThe triangles turned out beautifullly and certainly worth your effort. And those Redbird Bee blocks!! They are coming together so nicely. Super cool, Kyndra.
ReplyDeleteYour triangles are terrific!
ReplyDeleteI think I will follow you! I blog at www.intheboondocks.blogspot.com come visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I stopped by your blog... and followed back :)
DeleteLOVE this block. Please oh please do a tutorial! Would one be able to draw it out on paper and
ReplyDeletepaper piece it?
Enjoy your blog and marvel at your talent, Beth in AL
Beth, Thanks for stopping by my blog! I have never paper pieced, so that's obviously not how I did it. I'm not even sure if I could tell you that it could be done that way, but my guess would be that it could. :) I will try and post a tutorial on how I made it soon- probably in the next couple of weeks.
