BLOCK 7 & WISHES QUILT ALONG

BLOCK 7

Finally we get the opportunity to work together in Lynne's new craft room.  It looks great and set up is perfect for us.

Our first job today was a trip to spotlight as I unfortunately or fortunately forgot my cutting board.  It was decided with a push from my hubby to go and buy a new one that I could leave in the craft room.   This was a great idea as I hate having to transport my board.

So after a successful shopping trip we started on block 7 this one was one of the more straight forward blocks,  I dare not say easy because none of them are really easy just more "straight forward".  It all went together very well and we are both happy with the finished result and with the performance of the new room.

"WOMAN AT WORK"

 After a very yummy lunch and a short break it was into our new project "Wishes Quilt Along".  First job with this one was to set up Lynne's laptop to play through the TV, we are not always super good at IT but we got it working quite easily. We could then watch the You Tube video from Kimberly at Fat Quarter Shop describing the requirements and the making of the first block.

Then it was time to start, this is always a little daunting with something totally new and the backing material was such a big piece :-/ but we managed to get it all cut.  Although I had some very frustrating problems with the measurements on my new mat and cut TWO squares wrong.  Now of course I hope that I have enough materials left for the rest of the blocks. "We can always order more" is my favourite saying :-)

We were very happy with the finished product and it was time for a swim and dinner with the family.

Its great to be back into quilting after a busy Christmas/New Year break, and we are looking forward to our next day.
