I finally got a chance to work on finishing up the blocks I sewed on during my trip to Indianapolis last week. On the right above is a 'crazy' or 'crumb' pieced block made with the left-overs from my first Capuccino strip set. I was determined to save all the bits cut wrong, trimmed away, etc., to see if I could get a 13th block pieced with them.
Now that I know I can do that (and I had about two palm-sized bits of patchwork left after this block) ... I don't have to do that again. LOL Took me ages to piece the thing - though I do like how it turned out. I think it looks a bit like a city street map. :)
There are a total of eight blocks for this semester's set of classes. I decided to put them together in pairs - partly because I'm teaching two blocks each month and partly to make the quilt-by-the-block step faster. :)
As you can tell, these blocks are not quilted, yet. I have to go back and finish quilting the blocks I made during the third semester (last fall) before I quilt these. :)
I have most of the yardage from my second Capuccino strip set left and about six more blocks to create. I'm getting pretty excited about getting this quilt done - this one is going on our bed at home!
:) Linda
