This looked like a block that would lend itself to traditional piecing, and it did!
Successes:
- Straightforward sewing, with seams that nested beautifully
- Finished just a few threads smaller than 5″, so will sit nicely with the sashing in the final quilt
Challenges:
- All the measurements in EQ8 are in inches with decimals. I think I need to print myself a table of measurement equivalents down to 1/16″, so that I can more accurately cut.
- I think I need to look for my next red block to be placed in the lower left quadrant, to balance this strong colour.
- A friend who visited today said “You really aren’t going to make much of an impact on your stash with such tiny blocks!”
Here’s the quilt with six blocks placed:
