Sew Happy Quilt QAL Block 8

by | 07.02.2012 | Uncategorized | 18 comments

I think my new policy of doing work for myself at weekends and work for others during the week is working well.  I’m counting the QAL as a thing for others as it will ultimately become a Blanket of Love for Kat.  I’ve been keeping up as they’ve come out, and here’s block 8, the Peek-A-Boo block:

I’ve been trying to make all the print fabrics come out even, and so it was the turn of the red and pink to go together.  Although it’s not so clear here, the pattern on the red fabric is actually the pink, so it’s not as unlikely a combo as it may sound (honest guv!)

Tomorrow I have a bee block to start to tackle, paper pieced octopus anyone?!

    Gorgeous block – love pink and red together. Why do mine always look frayed and everyone else`s look neat? What an amazing quilt top for Kat`s BoL.

    It's working for me too 🙂
    I'm having a few busy evenings during the week lately so I may have to temporarily detour from my resolution, but so far so good 🙂

    Octopus?? Did I miss something? BTW I've always loved pink and red together. Pink and orange too. I really like this block and when I look back over the previous ones I can't choose a favorite, they're all great. Hugs
