Linking Up with Quilt Schmilt
Last weeks plans
- Continue quilting the Oh My Stars quilt. Have finished quilting the interior of the quilt, still to do the borders.
- Complete sewing up the Block A’s then move on to the Block B’s if I get that far. I have completed the Block A’s and half the Block B’s. My work with the tri rec rulers was not that good but I guess the way to learn is to try. Would have been better if I had someone beside me, I did do You Tube videos. Could have been my ruler slipped a bit on me. I did the centre of this block in the wrong colour, but as it turns out it was a happy mistake as the Block A’s are rather dark when put into the layout. Using Anne of Green Gables fabric.
- Make the next Blockhead block. Oh was this fiddly to do. It has nearly cured me of the 61/2 inch blocks, should have been going for the 121/2 but didn’t want a huge quilt. Using Edyta Sitar fabric.

Plans for the Coming Week
- Finish making the Block B’s, and then the edge blocks, this is a quilt set on point (Bonnie Hunter mystery.)
- Make Blockheads next block.
- Make the BOM by Sherri at A Quilting Life. My fabric arrived – a Coriander fabric Peachy Green I think it is called.
- Quilt the borders of Oh My Stars
- Keep up the temperature quilt, into the third week of January now.
- Box and post away the four NICU quilts.

Was it the first or the second block above that was fiddly? They are both stunning. Did you buy a bundle of the Coriander fabric?

Yes I bought a bundle of the Peachy Keen Coriander fabric. it has 34 fq and I think 24 are what’s needed. The 2nd one was the fiddly one! The first one was challenging because I’d never dealt with a tri recs ruler. Thanks Linda.

Good progress on your list! The blocks are nice–I especially like the blockheads one, although I can see how this block would be difficult to do in the 6″ size.

I think your block for the BH mystery looks good! I think the Tri Recs rulers are a little fiddly, too. But you are so right – we learn best by doing!

Thanks Diann, I know I used to have trouble with other blocks that seem like a breeze now. Although i am not sure I want to do more tri recs blocks!!

Pretty “Indigo Way” blocks, never would have known they caused you trouble. Have you ever tried using “Invisigrip” on your rulers? It can help keep them from slipping on you.
