Squirrel's Batik Brother #2 -


After I finished my chores -

I cut another set of Fat Quarters -

Using one of my strip dies -


But I didn't get much sewing done -


The FUN part is deciding which fabric I want to use for the "Star" -

And I'm trying to get my cutting sequence more organized -

How many of "what" can I get from this pair of strips? -

Should I cut "these" and "those" or cut "these" and "something else"? -

Which combo will be best so I don't waste fabric and/or come up short? -

Then I keep "re-counting" to make sure that I have all the pieces I need -

Especially when I don't get as many from a set of strips as I thought I would -

So - when I get that perfected -

These should go MUCH faster - ;))

Chain piecing is great -

Once I have the pieces cut - they're ready to sew - ;))

More chores are planned for tomorrow -

So we'll see how much sewing I can get done - if any -

And whether or not I'll have another finished block to show you - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

  2. My challenge with that block was getting all the triangles facing in the right direction, I guess with a batik you could just flip it over.
