First January Block (made in October)

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: Casual, Traditional


Materials

Leftover cotton fabric from previous projects, mainly Fabric Freedom's "Pure Velvet".

What was your inspiration?

Amy's Block of the Month course. (of course!).

What are you most proud of?

Getting started with my January blocks in October, even though I was ten months behind! I managed to make the first ten blocks (January to May) in a week (which rather shows on some of the points - they were "flung" together!), and am now facing the other ten to try and catch up with everyone else. A bit worried though - the October ones look a bit scary! However, I'm sure Amy will show me precisely what to do and make it all a "doddle"! I used three different prints in this block as I wanted it to be a little more interesting. I'm now toying with the idea of putting something into the middle to make it a bit more individual - a Suffolk Puff (YoYo) perhaps? If I do, I'll post a picture.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Never mind if you haven't even started when everyone else has just about finished - these blocks don't take long, and they're great fun. We're learning so much!

Thank you - I don't think I've finished with it yet! (I try far too hard to "gild the lily" sometimes!).

Thank you - the "Pure Velvet" fabric by Fabric Freedom is currently my favourite in the world!
