More Squirrels -

 

 

Were distracting me again today - LOL - ;))

 

First I saw that some dies were on sale - 

 

So I took a look at the one for "Storm at Sea" - HERE - 

 

And the one for "Snail's Trail" - HERE -

 

But I thought it was odd that they used QST for some of the pieces - 

 

Because I would have used HST for ALL of the triangles - 

 

So that the outside corners would be on the "straight of grain" - 

 

But I guess that's just me - LOL - ;))

 

Then I thought I would check the videos from Missouri Star Quilt Company - 

 

To see how Jenny cuts hers - 

 

And I found two videos for Snail's Trail blocks - 

 

This one - Snail's Trail - HERE - uses layer cakes - 

 

And then - 

 

Right about the time I was wondering if I could do it with charm packs - 

 

I found this one - Happy Trails - HERE - that uses charm packs - LOL - ;))

 

So I sorted the "other" charm packs - 

To see what I had - 

 

 

And now I can't decide if I want to make some larger Churn Dash Blocks - 

 

Or maybe some Happy Trails Blocks - 

 

I think I have enough charm squares to do either one - 

 

I would just have to resort some of the print ones - 

 

And add some "background" ones to the mix - 

And I do realize that Jenny's cutting instructions have me cut some QST - 

But it really is a super cool way to make the block -

 

What do you think? - ;))

 

And - in case you're wondering - 

 

No - I didn't buy either one of those dies - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
