Someone with the Stashbusters Group posted a link to (1) Make an OLD WORLD quilt | step by step sewing - YouTube
When I followed the link and saw the block I was in love at first sight. Although I rarely watch Youtube videos because my laptop and phone are too old for videos to load properly, I did manage to watch it and take notes on making the block.
I felt like a little challenge and felt like using up some aging civil war repro scraps and short pieces of yardage. So I made 6 blocks to see if I wanted to continue. I do.
I figured I would like to make 30 of these 13.5 inch finished blocks.
So for my next step I went through my little baggie of 2.5 inch scraps and cut center squares and sides for 24 Square in Square (SIS) blocks -- the centers of each Old World block. I will sew those as leader/enders.
And sew on...
Interesting blocks! They each look so different depending on your color placement.
ReplyDeleteA great scrap buster! Isn't the math a little tricky? (I'm sure I can figure it out.)
ReplyDeleteThere you go again! (And here I was thinking that SOMEDAY I would get to the end of my make-me-next list...)
ReplyDeleteI luv this! where do you find the civil war prints?
ReplyDeleteOoh these fabrics speak to me. Enjoy working on your new project. I look forward to following your progress, Cathy.
