Passing the Days: Day 21

4/6/2020

 
Picture
You know it's a pretty good day when you sit down to sew and you find little sticky notes posted in your studio.  I kind of like having my man around.  Who knows maybe I will finally even learn a little calculus as I listen to him teach and record lessons for his students.  

For block 21 I chose Broken Sugar Bowl.  What a name.  
Picture
My sugar bowl is made of crystal and definitely not broken.  I have not worked much with green so decided it would be good to add some into this scrappy quilt.  
I love trees, so naturally decided green and brown go together.
The only fussy thing about this block is working with those small squares to make the 4-patch units.  Once again I highly recommend starch.  After making them I checked them all for the 2 1/2" measurement needed.  They needed just a touch of trimming to get squared up properly.  Notice that I lined up the 1 1/4" lines on my ruler with the seam lines of the block.  This assures a truly squared up block.

The rest of the block is pretty straight forward.  Do watch the direction of the 4-patches and the Half-square Triangles.

I do want to mention also that if the seam in your 4-patch units is bulky in the center you can fan the seam.  The top 4-patch is pressed regularly.  The bottom one has the seam fanned.  It just is a trick that can help achieve a flatter block.
Picture
So that's it...three weeks at home.  So far so good.

I hope you are able to find some joy and peace and...
​Happy Quilting!
