The blocks!

Um diesen Text auf deutsch zu lesen, klicke bitte auf das DE oben auf der Seite.

I make them in the order of Marti Michells templates. But after the first block I decided to use the Easy Angle Ruler. My blocks turn out more precise with that ruler.
I think I will use Martis templates later when it comes to cut fabric for paper piecing.

But right now I do the first blocks and they are easy.

Later.

Yes, fiddlesticks! I reached Paper Piecing. The good thing is that even the most complicated blocks turn out perfect. But only because you have to add lots of seamallowance. After the piecing you cut the allowance away. I couldn't use Martis templates for that - they are too small!

I already have the ruler 'Add enough'. It's wonderful for measuring squares, rectangles, triangles and even odd shapes and calculating the fabric for the piece. And very easy! During piecing you can use that ruler for the folding of the paper (instead of a postcard for example).

And I own the ruler 'Add-a-quarter', that's for cutting the seamallowance.

And you don't need anything else for Papier-Piecing, except paper!

I got the pdf-file for the blocks on the yahoo-group-site.

I made a tutorial how to use everything, the example is block 13.

    I am almost done with my Farmer's Wife. Only 4 more blocks to go!! After making the first four or five blocks I switched to Paper Piecing. You're right, it is so much easier, especially with the blocks with lots of little pieces. I love your colorway. What a great idea to make a tab just for the one quilt and to have a page just be for all the blocks. When i finish mine I want to put them on my blog just like you. I see you don't have a place on your comment info for blog addresses. Mine is q-nonnie.blogspot.com. You can see my quilts listed in the "Provenances" tab. I wish there was a way to follow your blog so I could see each one you publish.

      Hi Terri, thank you! I visited your blog - I like it!
      And you are right - there is no way to 'follow' me, because I'm not at google (no blogspot-adress), my site is not a blog. But you can see all my new quilts in the Gallery, usually I post photos already during the making. Try Gallery 2018 and click on a photo.
      I finished two of the Big Four (Farmer's Wife and Nearly Insane), two are still in the making (Dear Jane and Dutch Treat). I post every new block as soon as it's done.
