Squirrel's Batik Brother #3 -

I finished Squirrel's Batik Brother #3 today -

And pulled 6 more Fat Quarters -

So I have enough to make another 2 blocks -

For a total of 12 blocks -
For two tops set 2 x 3 to measure 48" x 72" without borders -

Then I had to do some shuffling. The new additions - on the bottom row - are shorter than the others and more "subdued" - so they'll have to be the "Star" points since I need the least amount of fabric for those. Hopefully they won't be boring - ;))

I pulled these three for tomorrow's block -

The next photo shows how much larger some are than others -
The top left corner - not shown - has all three matched up -

The one on top is the smallest - at 18" x 22" - "normal" size - it will be the Star -

The next one is a bit larger -

And the one on the bottom is the largest - it will be the Background -

And in case you're wondering why it takes me a whole DAY to make one of these puppies -

And/or longer if I have any "chores" cutting into my sewing time -

It's because each block has 81 - I repeat - 81 pieces to cut -

And then 81 - I repeat - 81 pieces to sew together - ;))

At least it comes out to 24" when I get done -

I made a block once with 89 pieces and it only came out to 14" -

That's why I only made ONE - LOL - ;))

By the way -

Just for fun -

I checked EQ7 to see if I could find a "similar" block -

And I did -

EQ7 Block Libraries -

#1 - Classic Pieced - Lone Stars - Carpenter's Wheel 2 -

BOB wonders if she could find another - "public domain" - "copyright-free" - block in EQ7 - re-draft it - to eliminate any Y-seams - then publish it with the instructions on how to make it - and then claim copyright on my design "inspired by" a classic. Is that allowed? - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
