I am sewing the Riley Blake block challenges in the RSC colour of the month. February is aqua/teal, so I dug into the scrap box to make the next blocks.
This cutting and sewing was done on a dark winter evening. It's not a good idea to cut fabric late at night because you're tired and less careful. And do you know what happens then?
Yes... you cut yourself with the rotary cutter! We've all been there!
I put on a sewing machine bandage and continued to sew into the night... slowly!
I finally quit for the night when I got all the subunits sewn. It was like a tiny fabric jigsaw puzzle which is my favourite kind of thing to sew.
The Sundial block by Christopher Thompson is the next pattern released, and it was a very easy block to sew. No injuries occurred :)
Here is the RBD block collection on the design wall. Linking up to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge
love your blocks - when I work late into the day I tend to make measurement mistakes but not cuts
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun block! The little arrowheads pointing into the pinwheel are so cute. Sorry about the rotary cutter oops. They sure are sharp.
ReplyDeleteThe AQUA/TEAL for the block challenge turned out beautifully, Kathy! Sorry that you cut yourself with the rotary cutter. SEW not fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea to use the RSC colors for this challenge. Your blocks look awesome. I'm just using blue and white for my RBD challenge blocks.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful blocks, Kathy, but I'm so sorry there were injuries involved. We have definitely all done something like that at some point. Heal fast!
ReplyDeleteOh my, 56 pieces!! But it looks so pretty, so well worth it! xx
ReplyDeleteVery fun blocks! Love the red and teal together. Hopefully you didn't wound yourself too badly. You do have to be really alert with both the rotary cutter and where your iron is. I've learned both the hard way!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the boo-boo from mean Mr. Rotary Cutter! Probably much better by now though. The RBD blocks are so pretty. Great idea to follow along and do the blocks in the RSC colors.
