Block 71

This week's block is the classic album block.  I approached this block as a series of rows, almost like putting a little quilt together.

Here is everything set out and ready to go.

Starting to put the rows together.  Notice at the two corners I've put the two one-piece rows together?  The triangles are two rows high.

Here all the rows have been put together and I've started adding the end triangles.

The triangles have been added and we're left with the 5 pieces to be sewn together.

Here is the block, just waiting to be trimmed up.

And our next block done!

Block 59

Here is our next block set out and ready to go.  The pile of square to the right hand side are set out for 1/2 square triangles.

Here the centre 4-patch has been completed and the posts  have been added to the middle borders. 

The middle border has been added.

The next border has been added and I've completed the outer triangles.

With the outer triangles added, our next block is done!

Block 53

A simple block this week but one of my favourites.  I really like how this one turned out.  Here everything is set out and ready to go.  The pile of blocks to the right are for the flying geese.

Here the centre 9-patch and the flying geese have been completed.  I then trimmed up the centre square.

The middle borders have been attached, leaving another 9-patch to complete the block.

And our next block is done!

Here I've done the centre 9-patch, attached the rectangles for the middle border and attached the triangles for the outer border.

The middle border added.

The outer border added and our next block done!
