Materials:
8 3.5" squares of Color A
8 3.5" squares of Color B

*note* these are the essential materials for each block, so you can cut several blocks worth of fabric at once to save time!

After you have sewn your squares into rows, press your seams. I like to press odd numbered rows to the left, and even to the right. It helps to use a small piece of paper to number your rows. I like the tiny post-it notes. 

After pressing, you are ready to sew your rows together! Pin, if necessary, but I find that these short rows don't require pinning.

Press one final time, and voila! Another finished block! Only 21 to go! Remember to add your blocks to our flickr group!

WIP Wednesday

It's Wednesday again, and I don't have much to show in terms of WIPs. The bambino has been extra fussy the past week or so, and hubby started teacher prep week Monday, so I haven't had my extra set of hands! :) 

I did finish my low volume quilt top Sunday at naptime. It just needed sashing and sewing the rows together. I really like the way it came out, and I already have the backing made! It has been added to the 'to baste' pile.

WIP Wednesday

At the end of last week, with a fussy, wanting to be held baby, I broke down and made a design wall. I used the only wall in the house that has nothing already hanging in it. I was able to lay out two quilts' worth of blocks, and hold the baby, something I couldn't do if I was laying out quilts on the floor as I used to. I'm afraid to leave anything up for fear of removal  by tiny hands and various paws and tails, but it's nice to have! Now to figure out some way to roll it up and keep it pet hair free!

WIP Wednesday

I seem to have shoved aside all other projects in favor of this one. 10 more blocks since last week. They are the potato chips of sewing for me lately-I just can't make one. I love it.

In other progress I've quilted my negative space project and it just needs me to make bias binding and finish it up! Good thing it has a deadline or I'm sure these blocks would push it aside! Maybe I need to start thinking about fabric for the backing of the subway quilt....
