I finished the cat and bat blocks from the Frightful Minis project. They measure 6.5" square. It's only 9 blocks so it will be a nice little table topper. The cat wasn't too bad but that bat has a ton of seams that meet where those this black lines all intersect. I tried to iron that seam open but it wasn't easy. It was so thick!
Here's my progress so far. I only have 1 block left! It will finish at 18" square. This is a fun project and it helped me brush up on my paper piecing skills. It takes a while to get used to working from the back of the block!
Today was a great day to stay in and sew. We woke up to a few inches of snow. I'm so grateful that I'm not working anymore. I used to work every Saturday so I would have been out in the snow to get to work for 6AM. So nice to be retired!!
Oh your little project is coming together so beautifully--I LOVE that cat block--and the bat looks to have been a real challenge--SO many seams... but you did a super job...It will be a lovely topper..
ReplyDeletewe didn't have snow--just dense, heavy fog banks all day long...

Thank you! We had rain first and then snow so there's a nice layer of ice as well. It's supposed to be getting cold so I don't think it's going to melt anytime soon!
DeletePretty snow, especially when looking at it from the comfort of your sewing room. Your Halloween blocks are coming along nicely.
