Quilting: August Blocks
5 kudoz

August Blocks

August Double Star

August Double Star
#2 Ohio Star
#1 Ohio Star

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »
Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Traditional

Materials

It pays to measure twice and cut once. I realized the #1 Ohio Stat was off due to cutting it at a wrong angle. Oh well, that's part of learning. #2 got better, and I was pleased w/ the Double Star. Practice. :)

What are you most proud of?

Point got better as I went along.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time.

Can't wait to see all blocks with that great pillow ticking stripe! I became extremely close to my seam ripper when doing the Oct blocks! You go girl, get 'em done so I can see all of them!
