I finished the Trip Around the World block for Long Time Gone. It measures 13.5" X 13.5" including the seam allowance.
This block is made up of 169 squares, 13 X 13. I didn't want to have to match up 12 seams every time I added a new row. I decided to make it into a large 9-patch. I started in the middle and then worked my way around the block. With this method, I only had to match up 12 seams two times! Much better!!
Here are my blocks so far! I'm really enjoying working on this quilt so far!
Pretty trip around the world block! It almost looks like the turquoise fabric was fussy cut.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em! You're right about the turquoise pieces. That was accidental but I like it!
DeleteNice blocks. Will be gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn! This is a fun quilt but uses many tiny pieces! Hard to get used to
