Claytons Scrub Stitchin' Day 4(Saturday)

 Having made the hexie block the night before it was time to put the top together. It took a bit longer than i wanted as somehow i mixed up the rows that i had laid out so there was a bit of unpicking going on. :). It was neatly ironed but i found a few of the seams going the wrong way so more unpicking & resewing.

Christmas 2023 my daughter gave me a ruler to make twisted log cabin blocks which i hadn't touched at all. After wrangling with the hexie quilt i wanted something easy to do so i made a couple of test blocks. They were quick & easy.


After dinner i went for something different. Although i'm wanting to get those little embroideries finished i need a break now & again from them. Time to make another diamond hexie
I'd bought this template a while back & decided it was time to try it out.
I just managed to one as i wasn't watching my tracing & had some of the fabrics going the wrong way. It is hand pieced together.

Happy Stitching,

Holy Hoser! Petal to the metal, girl, is it a top already? I love it. Sorry it caused the seam ripper to show up to make it behave but it was worth it. Love the twisted log cabin. Your hand pieced block is just charming. Enjoy! ;^)

Looks great and so good to have it made into a flimsy.
Interesting blocks made with your special rulers.
Lovely hexies .

The twisted log cabin blocks look like good fun to make and would be another effective RSC project. A nice variety of projects for the day. No reason to get bored there.

Ditto Janice - a great RSC project....I will have to look for the ruler. The hexie qujlt looks good - glad you added the border. As they say "Variety is the spice of life"..we can't get bored.

You have quite the collection of projects for your retreat. I love the purples in the twisted log cabin. Looks like a lot of fun!
