Blockheads II

Block #10 Ducks and Ducklings


I am finally (momentarily) caught up with this BOW. This is block #10 by Jo Morton called "Ducks and Ducklings". The 12" pattern had a blank 6" square in the middle, so I put a 9 patch block in there.
This block has a lot of bias edges and triangle points to strive to keep with accurate piecing, so I'm very happy with how it turned out.


Block #11 Direction


Then I sewed 2 of the 6" blocks.

First was this little block by Sherri McConnell called Direction. It was fun to sew and has a partial seam. 





Block #9 With A Plus


And lastly I sewed the With A Plus block by Laurie Simpson. I used 2 of my favourite fabrics from the Harmony fabric collection. I could see a whole quilt made from this block... uh oh... Squirrel!


And here are all 11 blocks on the design wall... it really feels like a great accomplishment to be keeping up with this project!

  7. I am so glad that you added that 9-patch in the middle. It really needs that otherwise it would be a dull center. Kudos to you for enhancing the pattern!!! Love the choice of colors too.
