<br />
I have no plans to take down this site. I'll keep it up and running and responding to comments for the foreseeable future. <br />
<br />
So, rest assured, the tutorials will remain.<br />
<br />
For everyone that has joined me in this journey, THANKS! I know I would not have all these blocks done if it wasn't for your support.<br />
<br />
To provide a little incentive for all of us to continue in this journey, I'm having a draw. To enter, you need to send me a link to or picture of your completed quilt top (or quilt) by December 31, 2010. I'll give you one entry if the top is finished and two entries if it is quilted and bound too.<br />
<br />
I will add pictures of the completed tops to this blog, with links back to the owner, unless you ask me not to.CJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03214193463112297395noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860918886690983485.post-5851603859457454892010-10-31T08:37:00.000-07:002010-12-04T16:09:34.152-08:00Block 92Happy Halloween!<br />
<br />
Can you believe that this is our last block?! When we started this journey did you believe that we'd ever get here.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Here everything is set out and ready to go.<br />

Apparently I was neglectful with the photos on this one. Here everything is set out with the corner and centre <a href="http://quiltingcanuck.blogspot.com/2009/07/building-blocks-square-in-square-ii.html">square-in-a-square</a> blocks, the <a href="http://quiltingcanuck.blogspot.com/2009/07/building-blocks-half-square-triangles.html">1/2 square triangles</a>, and <a href="http://quiltingcanuck.blogspot.com/2009/07/building-blocks-fast-flying-geese.html">flying geese </a>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. <br />

The first step in this one is lots of <a href="http://quiltingcanuck.blogspot.com/2009/07/building-blocks-square-in-square-i.html">square-in-a-square </a>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. <br />

<br />
If you're making the edge blocks as two separate pieces then you'll want to follow along here. Here is everything set out and ready to go.

<br />
This block calls for lots and lots of narrow long strips. So, to make my life easier, I cut all of the strips wider and longer than needed. Then I squared up the block after each round.<br />
<br />
Here is everything set out and ready to go.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And now the sides.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I then put together the pinwheel in the centre and the 4-patches in the corners. Plus, I attached the 1/2 square triangles together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrltD7KNhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/sQeIgD2oqr8/s1600/IMG_2746.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrltD7KNhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/sQeIgD2oqr8/s1600/IMG_2746.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I don't know what happened. I was sure I had posts lined up for the previous weeks. Obviously I didn't.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, onto the next block...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This block is made up of one simple little block. (Just lots and lots of them). This pile is the basis of all the <a href="http://quiltingcanuck.blogspot.com/2009/07/building-blocks-square-in-square-i.html">square-in-a-square</a> blocks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmRAROFAI/AAAAAAAAAIg/Wssw1d_FowA/s1600/IMG_2688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmRAROFAI/AAAAAAAAAIg/Wssw1d_FowA/s1600/IMG_2688.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Here are all the square-in-a-square blocks set out and ready to go. The one trick to making these is to pay attention to the pressing. For these I pressed everything towards the red. This way your seams will but together and not give you too much bulk to work through.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmR2vrhzI/AAAAAAAAAIk/Y-LTn_9KD6U/s1600/IMG_2692.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmR2vrhzI/AAAAAAAAAIk/Y-LTn_9KD6U/s1600/IMG_2692.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I then put them together as a 4-patch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmSjQJhGI/AAAAAAAAAIo/00wKdEYcJIM/s1600/IMG_2693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmSjQJhGI/AAAAAAAAAIo/00wKdEYcJIM/s1600/IMG_2693.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Then one more 4-patch later....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmTaNGtaI/AAAAAAAAAIs/3c9xFy-K02s/s1600/IMG_2696.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmTaNGtaI/AAAAAAAAAIs/3c9xFy-K02s/s1600/IMG_2696.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Our finished block!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860918886690983485.post-68945982555802486842010-04-11T06:00:00.000-07:002010-12-04T17:14:03.232-08:00Block 91<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is one of our edge blocks so, you have a choice. If you decide to add in the 1/4 inch seam allowance, you'll want to make it following the red & white block. If you decide to make the block and cut it in half, you'll follow the orange and white block.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is the block set out and ready to go.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmsKCUT2I/AAAAAAAAAIw/22aWKhhke44/s1600/IMG_2616.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmsKCUT2I/AAAAAAAAAIw/22aWKhhke44/s1600/IMG_2616.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here I've started adding the triangles to the middle rectangle and the posts to the remaining borders.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrms3RdlEI/AAAAAAAAAI0/sccSTv48qfY/s1600/IMG_2618.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrms3RdlEI/AAAAAAAAAI0/sccSTv48qfY/s1600/IMG_2618.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Then, apparently, I somehow blanked on taking more pictures. So, I added the remaining triangles to the borders. Then added the borders to the centre. Resulting in our next finished block...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmtsRZgfI/AAAAAAAAAI4/_WOuqhvDMvw/s1600/IMG_2623.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSh34ec3Uo/TPrmtsRZgfI/AAAAAAAAAI4/_WOuqhvDMvw/s1600/IMG_2623.JPG" /></a></div><br />
If you making the whole block and cutting it in half, you'll follow this:<br />
<br />
Here is everything set out and ready to go.<br />

The centre square-in-a-square was done using this <a href="http://quiltingcanuck.blogspot.com/2009/07/building-blocks-square-in-square-ii.html">technique</a>. I've also added the posts to the remaining borders.<br />

I then added the borders to the centre, to finish the block.<br />
