Squirrel's Batik Sister - First block -


Is sashed on the right side and the bottom - ;))

On this one (and the Brother) I started with the block in the bottom right corner -

Sashed the right side - then the bottom -


The rest of the blocks are stacked on my cutting table -

In order according to my little sketch - ;))


I have a sketch with the blocks and sashing and cornerstones all labeled -

So I put them all on the wall according to the sketch -

Flipped the side sashings to the blocks - pinned them right sides together -

Took them off the wall and added them to the pile -

With the first block on the bottom -

And the last block on the top -

That way I can start in the bottom right corner -

And make my way to the top two blocks -

Which need the extra sashing on the top and far left side - ;))

I also pinned the labeled cornerstones to the bottom sashings -

Stitched them together -

And made a pile of those - on my ironing board -

So I can grab the one I need - according to my sketch -

And stitch it to the bottom of the block -

After I sew on the side sashing - ;))

I'm trying to keep BOB quiet -

Because she still wants to chase those other Squirrels -

So I let her and her CDO draw the sketch -

And label the pieces -

And make sure I kept them in order - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

  1. Yeah, I pin letters and numbers so I get them all in the right place. I love the way that pink works on this second one as well.

  2. I am surprised at how the pink makes the blocks sparkle. But, it certainly does. I am not so organized - which could explain why some of my quilts turn out "different."
