Ode to the 1930’s-block #8 & #9

Block #8 Pieced Flowers 12×12

This is a combo applique and pieced block. With those flying geese pieced with the bias triangles like this designer loves, it was hard to get the pieced flowers straight, but the applique came out cute. Our blocks came out a little different sized and we are starting to get concerned about what will happen when we try to put this sampler together at the end. We’ll see how that works out, but that’s a long way down the road.

Block #9 Diamond Lily 9×9

We are going in numerical order with constructing the blocks so now we have moved to the first of the smaller blocks and have made a block that is 9″ square. It is similar to #8 with three pieced flowers and applique stem and leaves with a triangle for the ground, but on a smaller scale. Because the pieces were larger, it was easier to get the bias pieces lined up without stretching and these blocks came out much more square. Yay!
