I joined the Homestead Hearth Antique Wedding Sampler Block of the Month and this is the first block. I am told it is the most difficult one. If I get this one completed then the rest should be easier. We shall see.

| AWS Block # 1 |
I have done very little hand piecing in the past. My hands just do not like it. However, it appears that if I am to do justice to this quilt, then hand piecing I will be doing. I made a silly error with the inside applique point in the first star when I cut off the bottom point. Oops. So I will have to wait until I get home to get some more fabric and redo it so I can complete the ring. I have no idea at this stage how I will press the thing before appliqueing it to the background fabric.

Looks like this is tiny and so intricate. Looks like you thru the worst of it and it lays quite nicely! Well done!
ReplyDeleteEach block will be 12 inches. There is hand piecing, applique and there will be broderie perse. Stay tuned.
Deleteouch this looks HARD! :)
ReplyDeleteI would not call it hard so much as a challenge. I am taking it up a notch in the skills.
DeleteOh my, so many pieces! It will look lovely though. Good for you for stretching your skills. I need to work on that...
ReplyDeleteSometimes I bite off more than I can chew. I am enjoying this so far.
DeleteYour first block is looking lovely, I definetly found block #1 one of the most çhallenging.
ReplyDeleteI came home to find a packet from Homestead Hearth with then next 4 blocks.
