The Whimsy blocks so far; there are 5 identical of three of them and 6 of one of them. I need to cut some new pieces of one of the shapes to have good contrast before I sew any more. I have 21 of 36 sewn.
If you follow the directions, you would be sewing those 4 blocks into one big block (9 total). But....you would have to alternate the pressing of the last seams to have them lock at intersections, and I don't know which block will go where until I'm doing the layout, so I wouldn't know which way to press them (and they won't stick to the design wall if the seams aren't pressed). If I leave the 36 blocks as individuals, there are no seams to match as I web the quilt top together. Today is supposed to be a rainy day so I'll have plenty of time to sew.
Lovely print pairings on these Tilda fabrics, Wanda--This will be just lovely...

rainy days makes for the best sewing days ,the layout is looking good!
ReplyDeleteLove the block - I've downloaded the pattern. Looks great in Tilda!
ReplyDeleteI agree about waiting to press some of the seams until the layout is established. Heading off to download the pattern (no immediate plans but I can see that it would be a good one with larger pieces when that urge strikes).
ReplyDeleteI so love these Tilda prints and what a great job you are doing of joining them up in such an interesting fashion. Always beautiful quilting here at your site!
ReplyDeleteJust yummy! I love the Tilda fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with Jocelyn. You always have something interesting going on
ReplyDeleteWhat charming fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI so agree about the bother and importance of pressing seam allowances in the 'right' direction.
Our forecast is for rain tomorrow morning and a high then of 68*F.
Hugs!
My eye caught the ladies first thing, I enlarged it, and was surprised to see the sleeping mice all curled up and then the squirrels as well. Ducks, birds and a black bird following the lady as she walked her dog. Quite a story in each small block . You have laced these blocks into one big fun piece. Look forward to the rest of the story. 🤗.
ReplyDeletethose colors sure blend well
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is beautiful and the layout is very cool. Maybe once you get a few more made a pressing plan will emerge.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and placement as always. I couldn't help but think..."I hope Wanda doesn't have too much trouble 'keeping her ladies straight' on this one." haha
ReplyDeleteI love this layout. The Tilda fabric is beautiful. I made a quilt from Tilda in February. I'll send you a picture when the quilt is photographed.
ReplyDeleteThese Tilda blocks are just lovely!
