The August Aurifil DOM (designer of the month) is Rebecca Bryan. Her block is called "Rooftops of Amsterdam" and involved a lot of cutting and sewing of small pieces ... which is my favourite thing to do!
There are 49 pieces to be exact!
Some of those black rectangles were pieced from scraps, and I was intent on using up my smallest bits! 😁
Here is my finished Amsterdam block. It was really fun to sew and no seam ripper was used in the construction process. It went together perfectly.
Here are all the Aurifil blocks on the design wall. I'm missing a few blocks in this year's series... one block I'm still working on, and two patterns I will replace when I find ones I like more.
What a fun block! I love your bits of black in each block -- very eye catching! :)
ReplyDeleteKathy, your work is always pretty! I love this block and the bits of black you used are so fun! The blocks together are beautiful! I love your color scheme! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm impressed that no seam ripper was used on this block. For me that would be quite an accomplishment. Pretty block.
ReplyDeleteYea a ripper-free block! I used my ripper enough for both of us this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat color combo. Still resisting, lol
I like your colors.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a block that requires no seam ripper for construction. :)
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are making such a pretty collection.
It's fun to use up some of those smaller scraps, but those big blocks with little pieces take a bit to stitch up. You've got the start of a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks all play together so nicely - will be a beautiful quilt.
