OMG Completion December 2020

My OMG goal this month was to make a few pieced blocks for the 50th Anniversary Quilt aka Ella. I pieced 5 blocks. The blue cross I did twice because I miscalculated the width before sewing it up. I still might do it a third time even wider. Or I might applique a few bits in the white spaces. The center block still needs to have the flowers applied down. That can be a goal for another time.





And I made mistakes. Not just one but many. Those white units were supposed to be on the bottom part. 

It seems like I made each of the blocks twice. But these are done now.






Now here is an interesting problem. Anyone ever had this happen to their Featherweight bobbins? I took the one on the right out of the case when I ran out of bobbin thread. I wound it, then it would not fit into the case holder. Somehow, it stretched out and is warped. I had this happen before but did not realize how. It's a good thing that I bought a whole bunch of new bobbins a couple of years ago.

Blessings,
Chris

  2. Lovely blocks, your cross looks very good to me. Very strange what happened to your bobbin, as they were identical before. I hope someone will have the explanation.
    Thanks for sharing!

  4. Filling a bobbin too tightly can make them bulge (the older models). Don't fill it as full as you would a modern sewing machine bobbin. Try that.

  5. Sorry for the mishaps! I have quite a few of them myself when making blocks. Or I am just now happy with it, once the block is complete. Your blocks look great, though!
