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.

Block 93

We're on the home stretch now.  Our next block is an edge block.  So, if you're adding the extra seam allowance, follow the red & white blocks.  If you're not adding the seam allowance, follow the brightly coloured blocks.

Here is the block set out and ready to go.

Here I've added the first border and trimmed it down to size.

And the second border.

The third border added.

And finally the last border to make up the finished block.

Here is the block set out for the approach without adding the extra seam allowance.  The centre squares have been prepped for square-in-a-square.

Here the centre square is done.  Next up is the triangles method for square-in-a-square.

And here is the centre completed.

Now the next border has been added.

And the final border added to make up our next block.

Block 80

Here is our next block set out and ready to go.  The pile of squares in the upper left hand corner are for the 1/2 square triangles in the outer border.

Here is is with the 1/2 square triangles made.  I've also started working on the blocks in the centre.

Here I've continued attaching the centre blocks.  I've also added and trimmed the first set of triangles.  I've added the posts for the middle border and have continued working on the outer border.

For the centre blocks, I've attached the three rows for the centre block and then trimmed it.  I've also continued on the outer border.

Here the outer triangles have been added to complete the centre square.

The middle borders attached.

And finally the outer border attached to complete our next block.

Block 87

Our next block for the week is another edge block.  So, if you're making these as two separate pieces, you'll want to follow this method.  If you're making a block and then slicing it, scroll down until you find the funky colours.

Here is our next block set out and ready to go.

I've put the centre squares together.  Attached the posts for the middle border and have started working on the outer triangles.

Here I've attached the middle border and completed the outer triangles.

Now the final outer border has been added and our next block is finished!

Here things are set out for the other approach to our block.

Here I've completed the centre 4-patch.  Added the posts to the middle border and completed the outer triangles.

Now the middle border has been attached.

And the outer triangles added to complete our next block.
