I am behind on making my alphabet blocks. I printed the "Q" pattern this morning and I've only made it as far as the "O". So there are two that I need to get made. But before I do that I'm in the process of finishing up some quilting I need to get done on another project.
In the mean time here are pictures of the letters I have done.
I had a terrible time with the letter "N". The center of it was giving me fits. And apparently I don't know how to add. I don't know why that sounds like it comes as a surprise to me. I've never been any good at math.
It's a good thing that I always make the red blocks first since I had to keep starting over. First I trimmed the center of the "N" too narrow. Of course I didn't know that until the block was sewn together. So I tried to make the center again and I cut the rectangle the wrong direction. No matter how I turned it I couldn't get it sewn on right. But I did get it sewn on wrong one time. Anyway, the "N" is done. And I made notes on the pattern about how it was made so when we get to the letter "Z" I won't go through all of that again. But as I've said before, I love these blocks. This has been a great quilt along with Temecula Quilt Company..
Since Halloween was only a few days ago I'll share a picture of my two favorite trick or treaters of the night.
They both had a great time on Halloween in spite of how cold it was.
Happy sewing,
Julie
