This week I finished the red Pond Lily block (which I am not going to continue as a RSC, another True Lovers Knot block, and a Snowball Blossom block. The more Snowball Blossom blocks I make, the more I remember why I quit making them last year, but I'm determined to finish that quilt this year.
Here is my revised plan for the Snowball Blossom blocks. I need twenty-five blocks which means I'll be making two or three of each color I use. It will be a good size for a baby quilt or throw, so I'll probably aim for the brighter colors.
And this is my plan for the True Lovers Knot block. I am enjoying this block so far but have discovered that it needs a scant 1/4 inch seam.

The snowball blossoms are new to me, very pretty. Are they done with flip triangles?
ReplyDeleteI had never heard it called that before, but yes, it's that technique. For some reason, the triangle corners aren't lining up perfectly though and that's why I am not liking this block.
DeleteNice job on your RED scrap sewing for the RSC!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The RSC blocks were fun.
DeleteP.S. Does the S. b. Block belong to any designer? I would like to use it for my RSC19.
ReplyDeleteYes, I got the pattern from Lisa Boyer's blog here: http://lisaboyer.blogspot.com/2008/03/puakenikeni-baby-quilt.html.
DeleteShe called it a Puakenikeni Baby Quilt, but since I don't know how to pronounce that, and since it looks like four snowball blocks made into a flower block, I named it my Snowball Flower quilt when I started the blocks in January 2018. But that name lost it's appeal to me, so for this year, I've renamed it Snowball Blossom. Maybe I'll finish it before I get tired of that name too. lol
I love your happy red blocks! I mean, I like EVERY color, but RED is the best... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Red is the life of the party, isn't it? I need more red in my life.
DeleteFun blocks, pretty scraps. I don't mind making snow ball blocks, what do you not like about them?
ReplyDeleteNo matter how carefully I put them on, none of the corner seams line up with each other. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it's driving me nuts.
