This is the Reflections pattern by Karen Montgomery. (It's basically a delectable mountains block.) I had planned to use this funky fabric but as I was digging around for brown fabric in my stash I came across these dogs and was smitten! I had to use them. Of course, I couldn't make it easy on myself.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg39zZNSlvvWeZzREjqhowrm2XSYxsnbPSmWGQpIT42yIX28S8UBOWVOhUPNwnHHaNSzWfLybZt8IDsIx4ktV7UdMRDsfjxNltMXw5DLqAVgeOvLCKvUEfoRyZUTtF6Z2vrpI4J0rDQfkIGqTw3dsMvkAa_mlGmPO-Gf4PNptRiIs9VTMPLL2zRqA" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg39zZNSlvvWeZzREjqhowrm2XSYxsnbPSmWGQpIT42yIX28S8UBOWVOhUPNwnHHaNSzWfLybZt8IDsIx4ktV7UdMRDsfjxNltMXw5DLqAVgeOvLCKvUEfoRyZUTtF6Z2vrpI4J0rDQfkIGqTw3dsMvkAa_mlGmPO-Gf4PNptRiIs9VTMPLL2zRqA=w200-h200" width="200" /></a></div>The first block showed me that I, after cutting the fabric as instructed, would have to have the blocks in a vertical orientation. I really prefer the horizontal version. Can you see how the dogs are facing? So I cut another test block and got all of the dogs going the right way. I'm leaving out lots of cutting errors as I sub-cut the pieced blocks (grrrr). I had to get DH to help me lay out the blocks as it was! Tonight I'm hoping to get another full block pieced so I can try the alternating blocks. I'm hoping to have this finished for Book Club on Saturday so I really need to spend some time. I had two yards of the dog fabric and I was hoping to have some for a border but it's not looking good. And this is really old fabric!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirdftTdU-EPtoiM5f9ZUvMpQu4t-sNXb55hudt5ferSbA91zp_wVjIxQEegBjMfFhbJxDHfqsFP-IKstsksNfv6uYZT4Z4sUvxL1Rl4K_QQQut8xVqd33YSNbNFnNKqoJkrkGM31X1mmmO4xzL5OkzdUaWzCYYo3zFIp39Q9QZXa1x8l75-RaUXA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="694" data-original-width="1080" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirdftTdU-EPtoiM5f9ZUvMpQu4t-sNXb55hudt5ferSbA91zp_wVjIxQEegBjMfFhbJxDHfqsFP-IKstsksNfv6uYZT4Z4sUvxL1Rl4K_QQQut8xVqd33YSNbNFnNKqoJkrkGM31X1mmmO4xzL5OkzdUaWzCYYo3zFIp39Q9QZXa1x8l75-RaUXA" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>Kigwithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711904840405732904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10567026.post-79939147394338792732024-02-06T15:09:00.001-06:002024-02-06T15:13:31.340-06:00A new Saturday Sampler<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpI0-YhLiIFg8Qcq4E5v2tJ_paj6PswOEN2zLMb5jozct5akhx4iTk1DaQ5mZHN7QlXOltbyQCqXq57jnRF9GSgcm9ho-dPKyZOFDnZ5Xkv235vmaxpJlhbcX1bwFa6H3Zkxk8xjhvdtBBxwGNmfzpQYG_b3qEwLg7qHK2X7tk5sARMeQlqvNVyQ" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_7332599225452703826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpI0-YhLiIFg8Qcq4E5v2tJ_paj6PswOEN2zLMb5jozct5akhx4iTk1DaQ5mZHN7QlXOltbyQCqXq57jnRF9GSgcm9ho-dPKyZOFDnZ5Xkv235vmaxpJlhbcX1bwFa6H3Zkxk8xjhvdtBBxwGNmfzpQYG_b3qEwLg7qHK2X7tk5sARMeQlqvNVyQ=s320" /></a></p><div class="yahoo-compose-assist-image-card ymail-android-inline-img-container ymail-card" contenteditable="false">It's time for a new Saturday Sampler!

When it arrived it told me it wanted grey and red fabrics to be used with it. I found this hand-dyed grey fabric at the LQS. It was perfect because of all of the color variation. The red is from French General. The first "fins" I made had a thicker red stripe and they looked like a sports logo! So I resewed and recut to get these fins. I used my 4 1/2 inch equilateral triangle die from Accuquilt. I trimmed down the triangles to square off and added 2.5 inch borders. The binding is a faux flange. I used 1.75 inches of the red and 1.5 inches of the grey.</div><br /> <p></p>Kigwithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711904840405732904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10567026.post-31281029345466048952023-08-01T17:52:00.003-05:002023-08-01T17:52:31.040-05:00Hello there<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhoZa5EqY6P1rOlrGXk7FTWN2AmORR3Xt6VjYfbfS5czX-7pFiFhzGie2fO4FQgj4U7PVU0hScpn7lfVwuRLOxDIz8QVHwJJpu3MTk0Lxp74r85RFc4lLpjXd2yZyJp5mZxiDjsdV9h2S8ykT9WjeNvyVDE1NE_Z1dlf3thqdKqfehnJNHOLvE3LA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhoZa5EqY6P1rOlrGXk7FTWN2AmORR3Xt6VjYfbfS5czX-7pFiFhzGie2fO4FQgj4U7PVU0hScpn7lfVwuRLOxDIz8QVHwJJpu3MTk0Lxp74r85RFc4lLpjXd2yZyJp5mZxiDjsdV9h2S8ykT9WjeNvyVDE1NE_Z1dlf3thqdKqfehnJNHOLvE3LA" width="180" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Kigwithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711904840405732904noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10567026.post-28157161161695553362023-07-29T11:34:00.001-05:002023-07-29T11:34:09.986-05:00More sharks<p> I feel the need for more sharks, and since Chocolatier is finished, I get to play.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiEXb6-1npme4S4QFMLjnMHWqNKvzboOQkkrvoDRG1H0Cgnm4JP_2sHydIZc_O2eXKVLMNgCCpzIGptarwsTjZl9tE_eBF6gX8R48AAXiulGLI5xBRVQX_zI5VaBfijWFI1mN_PInugXmHa-Q2iF3NutWs8SjDkY5qP0EaGIoWr8eYwQ2WPY64xvw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2662" data-original-width="3024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiEXb6-1npme4S4QFMLjnMHWqNKvzboOQkkrvoDRG1H0Cgnm4JP_2sHydIZc_O2eXKVLMNgCCpzIGptarwsTjZl9tE_eBF6gX8R48AAXiulGLI5xBRVQX_zI5VaBfijWFI1mN_PInugXmHa-Q2iF3NutWs8SjDkY5qP0EaGIoWr8eYwQ2WPY64xvw" width="273" /></a></div><br />This is just getting started. It will be all in triangles to suggest shark's teeth. The red is too thick in this sample so I'm going to try again. I'm using an accuquilt equilateral triangle die for cutting but I may need to use a ruler for the red/Grey triangles. <p></p>Kigwithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711904840405732904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10567026.post-48864396291252775652023-07-25T11:26:00.001-05:002023-07-29T11:29:13.084-05:00Shark!<p> I also needed to make a mat for this awesome shark planted my sister gave me.

I made and remade the arrowhead block repeatedly. I was also intimidated by the paperpiecing and the applique blocks. The solid fabric is Kona cotton and it is fairly thick to sew with. It was a challenge toy accuracy. Then I didn't feel up to cutting the background fabric. I finally got all the blocks done and laboriously sewed the blocks into rows and rows into sections and, finally, sections into a top. I would really like to have this custom quilted. <p></p>Kigwithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711904840405732904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10567026.post-49610857823311726572023-07-12T11:33:00.001-05:002023-07-12T11:33:13.191-05:00Catching up on Saturday Sampler blocks<p> All of these blocks are for the Saturday Sampler at my LQS, Fabrics Etcetera.
