Andrea’s Block

Playing catch up from June… I’m not sure why I waited so long, I wasn’t particularly nervous about this block, even though I don’t really free piece very often.

The Ton Shulten inspiration photo Andrea sent included a house, which I very much wanted to include in my block.  I did add in the red fabric that the house is constructed from, it just seemed to make sense.  I also tried to add in curved piecing on some of the landscape, which is harder than it looks when one is determined to piece a block without using pins!

Anywho, Andrea, I hope you like your block, which is currently winging its way back across these United States as I type.

I plunged in!

It's finished! I'm happy and relieved to have made your block, Andrea. As you know, it's given me consternation since I first opened the envelope and pulled out your instructions. But I took the plunge.

Unfinished, it measures 12-3/4" X 15-1/4". An odd size, yes? But hopefully one you can cut down, if needed, to puzzle into place.

This block was completely outside my comfort zone, so I'm feeling a wee bit smug about about having made it. And to think... some people actually - gasp! - like making this sort of thing! (giggle)

Pleased with myself, Linda
