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.

Block 55

There certainly are quite a few pieces in this next block.  Here everything is set out and ready to go.

Here I've done the centre square-in-a-square block.  Plus I've attached the middle strips together.

Here I've attached additional pieces for those middle strips and am working at the next centre square-in-a-square.

Here the centre square-in-a-square is complete and the triangles have been added to the middle strip set.

Now you attached the next border.  There are set in seams, don't be scared.  I put together a more detailed tutorial on it.

Then I add the final triangles and we have our next block finished.

Block 91

Here is our next block set out and ready to go.  The funky coloured one is the method you'd use if you're slicing the block after you've finished it.

Here the posts  have been attached on all the borders and the centre square-in-a-square has been completed.

Here is the first border added.

And our block is done!

If you're making the block as two separate pieces, this is the method you'll follow.

Here I've added the posts for the borders and started working on the centre border.

And, I'm not sure what happened next.  I was sure I'd taken a picture but I can't find it.  So, lots happened between these pictures.  I added the remaining triangles to each piece and then added the two borders.

Block 88

If you're making the border blocks by creating the block and cutting it in half, you'll want to follow the same method as we did for block 41.

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.  The pile of squares in the upper right hand corner is for the 1/2 square triangles.

Here we are with the finished 1/2 square triangles.

Now I've started working on assembling the basket.  If you can see, I've approached this block as a set of rows (on the diagonal).

The first two rows are assembled and ready to put together.

Now the final row is ready and I can put the remaining rows together.

Here the baskets have been assembled and now I just need to add the handle.  I hand appliqued mine.

Here are the baskets with the handles.

Block 76

Since it's a little late, a simple block for the week.

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.

Here is everything set out and ready to go.

Each round is put together just like you would a courthouse steps block.  Here the top and bottom have been attached.

And now the sides.  Once I've done this for each row, I squared up the block cutting it to the right size (with seam allowance!)

Repeat the above process, many many times.

And you'll end up with our next block!
