Those pieces are tiny, but actually not impossible to sew on the machine (rem. all those blocks in the SBS quilt *lol*), but there's something very relaxing and satisfying by doing the blocks by hand :-)<br /><br />That design board looks handy! I usually use the pressing mat of my little portable Omnigrid cutting/pressing mat for small blocks...Anne Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980121747791507415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9167218720967523674.post-10209367800748439312011-06-24T10:32:54.530-07:002011-06-24T10:32:54.530-07:00Doniene, aren't they great?

The piecing was a little tricky and we were having trouble keeping the positions of the different parts of the block straight. The instructor got out a bunch of these for us to use. I was sold. I made a a few that week and more the following week. At the time I was working on a quilt that had many little pieces per block and I would cut out several of them, arrange them on the boards and sew away!<br />This is a beautiful block--and the pieces must be small if it totals 6"!! I love that you are hand piecing it. I wish I was patient enough to do more of that.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.com
