Firstly, ignore that my mug above says “merry christmas”. Lol. It’s a favorite because of size and shape.
I hope you have been happy and well this past week. We are off to make out Girl in the Corner blocks this round. So simple. It’s a perfect week to use for catching up and getting on track.
This Week’s Task
We’re working on section #6 this round, the Girl in the Corner blocks. There’s only four of them and they end up as the four corners of your quilt top.
Tips
- Girl in the Corner blocks would be a good time for fussy cutting if you are inclined.
- This is another perfect moment for chain piecing.
Fabrics I’m using
I’m using Art Gallery Fabrics Spirited fabrics and Pure solid Macademia for my background.
