I have little to show you in this update. The work seems quite slow to me and I have only a modest stack of blocks completed for this quilt.

I asked myself “Why does this seem to be moving so slowly”. So I thought for a bit and watched myself create a block from start to finish. There are several steps to creating the block which I outlined last update. This time I have a picture of the steps in creating the block. After I’ve cut the fabric into 5” squares, the first step is to sew the interfacing to the block. Then I trim the seam closely, cut a slit in the interfacing and turn the block inside out. Next I iron the peel onto the light blue block and finally use a blanket stitch around the edge to permanently affix it to the light blue block. A rather lengthy process which is getting a little faster but not much faster. No wonder I only have a modest stack of blocks 😁 I’m thinking of adding sashing which will widen and lengthen the top.
