H9 was made by making a pinwheel block out of four half square triangles and then snowballing the corners and appliqueing on four diamonds.
And here's the close up.
I then meant to make I9, however, by mistake I made J9. I am not going to remake it in a different colour, so when it comes to make J9, I will make I9 instead..... J9 was simply a box with two frames. The middle frame I made with mytered corners so I could open them to make orange peels and show the main fabric placed underneath.
And here's the close up.
And here are the first 25 completed blocks.
I now have 1/9th of the quilt made and it took me 3 months which means I am averaging 2 blocks a week. I'd like to average 3 blocks a week so would like to make 12 blocks in May. There are 24 blocks in the next round, so I would like to have 12 more blocks and the next round completed by the end of June.
Looks great. I like the dark blocks on the corners. Wouldn’t you like to get inside Jane’s head while she was designing all these shapes?
ReplyDeleteI had so much trouble with some of these blocks - I did mine all by hand and some of those pieces were so troublesome I should have gave in and fused them in place but didn't
