Block 92

Happy Halloween!

Can you believe that this is our last block?!  When we started this journey did you believe that we'd ever get here.

Our last block is cut up to make the corner blocks for our quilt.  If you are not adding the extra seam allowance you'll follow the funky coloured pictures.  If you're adding the extra seam allowance, follow the red and white.

Here everything is set out and ready to go.

Here the outer 1/2 square triangles and the centre square-in-a-square have been completed.

Here the centre 9-patch has been completed.

And finally the outer border has been attached to complete the block.

If you're adding the extra seam allowance, you'll want to start following along here.

Here the 1/2 square triangles have been completed.  The triangles have been added to the centre squares and the middle border.

Here the middle border has been added to the centres and the outer borders have been finished.

And finally the outer border has been added to finish our last block.

Block 25

Here is our next block set out and ready to go.  Apparently I was neglectful with the photos on this one.  Here everything is set out with the corner and centre square-in-a-square blocks, the 1/2 square triangles, and flying geese done.  Take note that the white and read 1/2 square triangles in the outer border are actually rectangles.  The remaining 1/2 square triangles in the outer border and not squares and they're also not 45* angles.  I was feeling lazy about the math for piecing so I did them for paper piecing.

Here the paper piecing has been completed and trimmed to size.  I've attached the centre square-in-a-square to the flying geese.  I've also started working on the 1/2 square triangles for the next border and outer border.

Here the work continues on the middle 1/2 square triangles.

Here the middle 1/2 square triangles have been attached along with the middle strips.  Can you see that what remains is a 9-patch?

And here is our completed block.



Block 96

This week we've got another edge block to tackle.  If you're doing the block without the extra seam allowance you'll want to follow the funky coloured block construction.  If you're doing the block with the extra seam allowance you'll want to follow the red and white block construction.

Here things are set out for our block.

Here the posts have been attached for the outer and middle borders along with the centre square-in-a-square.

Apparently I missed a picture of adding the middle border, but I then added the middle border and then the outer border to complete the block.

If you're adding the extra seam allowance to the border blocks, you'll want to follow along here. 

First I attached the triangles for the centre rectangles and posts for the remaining borders.

The middle border has now been added.

And finally the outer border to complete our next block.

Block 72

Here is our next block set out and ready to go.  This one appears to be another one of the famous use up all the scraps blocks.  The strips along the outer edge are all assorted sizes.

First up is the centre 4-patch.  Plus, I've started working on the outer border.

Then I did the first centre square-in-a-square along with continuing on the outer border.

Here the next square-in-a-square has been completed and the rest of the borders are ready to go.

The middle border has been attached.

And the outer border attached to complete our next block.

Block 62

Here is everything we need for the next block.  The first step in this one is lots of square-in-a-square blocks.  When cutting for this block, I didn't realize that the upper and lower squares are actually rectangles.  I left them as is (since I didn't realize it until I after I did the square-in-a-square blocks) and just widened the red rectangles to compensate.

Here things are all set out with the square-in-a-square blocks completed.

Here each of the rows are ready to go.

Here they are sewn together and trimmed down to size to give us our next block.
