The first is my postage stamp block.
It measures 20 by 20 inches and is made of 400 random one inch pieces. I plan to make more of these in a block of the month format to have a finished quilt at the end of the year. It has some has favorites from 2010: Kona, Michael Miller and, my favorite, Holiday Happy from Happy Zombie.
The next block is from my Cathedral Window quilt. The units are sewn by machine and each window is hand appliqued. My goal this year is one-window-a-day and so far I have kept up and have 38 windows completed. Whoohoo! I am usually a terrible procrastinator.
Both will be entered in the traditional category.

ReplyDeleteBoth those blocks are great. I like your postage stamp one, particularly. Seems like such tiny pieces and you've kept everything so straight!

ReplyDeleteGreat blocks! For the postage stamp quilt--did you do anything "special" or just sew them together square by square? Your corners are awesome and the block lays so flat.
