Dilly Dally Blocks 25 + 26: The Challenge Is Real π

Dilly Dally Blocks 25 + 26:
The Challenge Is Real π
The next two Dilly Dally blocks are here! π
Blocks 25 and 26 just went live over in Quilt Class, and Iβm not even going to pretendβthese were tough. Honestly, I think theyβve been the most challenging ones in the whole quilt so far.
That saidβ¦ theyβre also some of the most beautiful. If youβre up for a bit of a stretch and want to show off that skill youβve been building block by block, these two are going to feel so satisfying once youβve got them done.
Iβve updated the pattern to include both blocks, and there are full video lessons now waiting for you inside Quilt Class. Youβll also find a few pics from my process (aka proof that I lost a few points on my HSTsβbut hey, thatβs how it goes sometimes, right? π ).
The goal isnβt perfectionβitβs progress and joy in the making. Always. π
About HSTs
Half-square triangles (HSTs) have a way of looking simpleβ¦ until you’re deep in a pile of them, trying to get those points to line up just right. π These blocks had more than a few, and while I did my best to be careful, a few of my points definitely wandered off. If youβve been there too, know that youβre not alone! One tip Iβve been leaning into is trimming each HST after pressingβeven if I think I nailed itβjust to be sure everythingβs nice and square before sewing it into the block. It makes a big difference!
Here’s a half square triangle demo for you.
Fabrics I’m using:
- Blocks – Jellybean Meadow fabric collection – I just grabbed a fat quarter bundle of all (20) fabrics
- Background – Kona Snow
