Sewing Machine Blocks

Two more sewing machines were added to the herd this week. Not the actual herd, but the quilt block herd. 

I cut out all the pieces for 2 blocks and labelled them with my Alphabitties (which I love). The dark purple pieces will make a 3" block and the lighter purple with make a 6" block.

I am using the Fat Quarter Shop's free pattern.

I sewed the 3" block first since smaller is usually more challenging but it went together easily and turned out so darn cute.


I also made a sweet 6" block and it was fun to sew.

The problem came when I put the whole herd of machines on the design wall.



Can you spot the problem?


I have so many scraps and cannot believe I chose the exact same purple fabric twice! Apparently I really like it!

I can see why you liked that purple fabric so much. It is adorable. The 6 inch blocks look so giant next to the tiny ones. So sweet.

So fun to read about your herd of real sewing machines, but I love the fabric ones, too! I don't see a problem with there being two lavendar blocks - they're so pretty!

If you are set against the two matching purples, one can be your label.
