September doGood Stitches Blocks

For September's Promise circle do Good Stitches block we needed to make low volume with a pop of color wonky log cabins. Whew, say that five times fast. 

This is the first time I've made a wonky block, they're tricky little devils to do. It's really hard to get a wonky appearance. I didn't have much in the way of low volume fabrics so I just used the softest tones I could in the colors that the quilter, Megan, requested. 

Not too shabby.

Whew. This one was a doozy. Getting the center square lined up with the other intertwining blocks was quite tricky. I had to remake the center square three times before it was the right size to match up with the other blocks which was really frustrating. Once I got the center square connected it went much more smoothly and I actually got a little choked up when I was pressing out the final seam. It turned out so well! I still haven't sewn down the center dresden yet and I'll probably wait to do that when I quilt it....not quite sure when that will be. 

Sew Intertwined...almost there

I just finished up the intertwining blocks for the Sew Intertwined QAL and they look SO cool!

Here they are all laid out....

I'm very glad I didn't sew the dresden plate down since the center square corners are not matching up with the intertwining blocks. That should 'hopefully' be an easy fix. I wish I'd chosen a slightly softer blue for the solid though because it seems to take away from the prints a bit. Not too big of a deal though. Perhaps I can tone it down a bit with the quilting once it's time for that. I'm really excited to finish this one up.
