No beaches for us this Spring. We are visiting my sister in PA and I think it might be colder here than in Michigan!<br /><br />Anyway, my theme for the month of April is the sea. I'm sending each of you 7 layer cake pieces an one 2 1/4" WOF strip from Tula Pink's Neptune line. My post in our Flickr group has some pictures and inspirations, so go check that out.<br /><br />Here are the basic guidelines, though:<br /><br />1. Be inpsired by the sea<br /><br />2. Use the Neptune Fabric only (if you need to add one more fabric to make your vision complete, use a solid-ish white)<br /><br />3. 12 1/2" pieced blocks, no applique this time<br /><br />4. One or two blocks (whatever works)<br /><br />5. Know right now that I will probably be thrilled with your idea and execution, so relax and have fun!!Kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13708383007311168091noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249465204531930257.post-77355324325725371362010-03-14T03:26:00.003-05:002010-03-14T03:40:27.188-05:00Welcome to the Jungle!Hey Ladies!<br />For my house block I pulled fabrics that I used in a jungle themed baby quilt to make a tropical retreat.

Do what you have time to do. I am sending you each an over sized fat quarter of blue fabric for you to use for the sky. If it is alright, I'm asking you to pull from your own stashes and scraps to make the house and ground. You can make the house look like your own house or a house from your imagination. Whatever. The houses can be any size/color/style you like. Put your own personality into it. Whatever blue fabric you don't use can be added to your own scraps. You can make the houses wonky or traditional or a combination. I want these houses to represent you. The blocks should be 12.5 inches. I know there are lots of house block patterns around the web if you want to use a pattern. In about 1 minute of searching I found a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/2ndavestudio/sets/72157603623694048/">nice tutorial on flickr</a>, and also a <a href="http://www.blockcentral.com/qb-pattern-ourhouse.shtml">paper pieced house from block central</a>.<br /><br />These are two house blocks that I have made. (the block on the right is smaller. I accidentally trimmed it to 12 inches instead of 12.5 inches. I think I'll make it into a pillow to match the quilt.) I didn't use a pattern, I just kind of winged it. I didn't even draw it out on paper first. I just started with the door and went from there.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444168529101685714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWtIduJLZSYQ2BoLCdhcDRaSUIaP-zFMmZJ5M7hOewika7tA9Ku8AyazORD3U1_OsZH3_D461cT6ulIlSeg0b_Sv6ozjiuMMjDyOKgxe0ht07QfyvqsBVx4CZP8ubJd0jE4xN3l4FQ7lZ0/s400/DSC06217.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444168544973452210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUvOYh6RN6dsmwlKs4uAEDIh-rk-rjLyENAJvyAumqv6OD_ttUww7EY_jDZLwFrLfxpnZERsnDxrduvG0B4ZJm2PRu3czvXtqUdcWhQoaoolqEC18GaOaZc87XXuywAd8cuKzCpHty5Sqs/s400/DSC06209.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjMKsey5_DNDHji10wDUooA-Rz5Q3k5My0G09R-2Dzrmnx50WHwRqAEWOmQ1vT8v8fz0v7sb4BxpenNZtR1_UPxEUbRypNjrsrzJzH9vgxaJ1vXi0FkIMZVHZX9bnV4b0I7HG9NRuj4Kv/s1600-h/DSC06214.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444168532074525746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjMKsey5_DNDHji10wDUooA-Rz5Q3k5My0G09R-2Dzrmnx50WHwRqAEWOmQ1vT8v8fz0v7sb4BxpenNZtR1_UPxEUbRypNjrsrzJzH9vgxaJ1vXi0FkIMZVHZX9bnV4b0I7HG9NRuj4Kv/s400/DSC06214.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Aimeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05656054579881430089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249465204531930257.post-4284450428495843222010-03-02T01:05:00.004-06:002010-03-02T01:43:43.776-06:00Finally!I'm sure you all thought I had fallen off the face of the planet, but I've just been really busy.

I knew she wanted traditional crosses and I kept thinking about the crosses I see whenever I travel in and around the Blue Ridge Mountains. So, I attempted to make my own paper-pieced pattern. I must say that I felt like I was back in math class with my pen and graph paper! I am unhappy with how <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">wrinkly</span> this one looks, I am blaming it on the starch because it didn't look like this when I had only pressed it and the second block doesn't have starch.

Those are just the ones I have have out…there are several more that I haven’t found a place for since the move.<br />
Can you see why I am choosing cross blocks???<br />
<br />
This is the block that I have designed…<br />
The rough draft (very rough)<br />

Designing the Block and Foundations Pieces was really fun :)<br />
Here are my block pieces…<br />
oops, I forgot to take pictures of all the block pieces I had after getting them sewn and cut out…there were about 22 pieces all together.<br />
here is the back of the block after sewing the pieces together…<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ANhX30XBIEE/S06iOSHc27I/AAAAAAAAA64/I-IU_JKg0ME/s1600-h/DSC_0688%5B3%5D.jpg" linkindex="348"><img alt="DSC_0688" height="268" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ANhX30XBIEE/S06iOyFnjNI/AAAAAAAAA68/by7Fce7Ym-U/DSC_0688_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="display: inline;" title="DSC_0688" width="400" /></a> <br />
here it is the front (paper still on)<br />

and here it is after removing the paper, starched and pressed (It got a little stretched from removing the paper) But over all I am very pleased. It is the 1st time I have ever designed something myself, so I am just thrilled that it came out and it looks the way I had imagined it would :)<br />

I am going to make a few more sample blocks too :) The next ones will be a little simpler!<br />
I hope you have as much fun designing and making the blocks as I did. <br />

I precut my material that you gave me, after I made two practice blocks. They turned out fine, but I cut the material wrong! So it is all wrong. So I was wondering where I can get more material for the block. Do you think my local quilt store have some of the same fabric? I don't want you to send more because I feel bad for messing it up, it's not your fault that I did it. Anyway, I didn't know if I could take the fabric and match it up the best I can or if I need the exact. Anyway let me know. Thanks!

I found that the toughest part for me was lining up the fabric for the next piece and then trying to flip things all around and get it in position for sewing. I worked out a method that made it MUCH easier for me and I thought I would share. I'm showing it for the last piece because it is just a little clearer but you can use the method all the pieces.<br />
<br />
I've sewn the parts before this and I start by folding the paper back on itself at the next seam that I will sew and trimming the fabric to 1/4":<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then I take the next piece that I am going to add and place it, right side up, under the workpiece. I don't unfold the paper:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Line the next piece of fabric with the newly cut edge of the workpiece. With the paper folded back, you can see where the piece you are adding should be placed for sewing. I am adding the white in this case, and you can see that it extends beyond the paper on all sides. Hold everything in place and unfold the paper flap, then pin your fabric in place.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now you are ready to sew the line that was folded down. After that, the added piece will fold up and land exactly in the right place. :)<br />
