Rainy Monday = Funday in the Quilty Garden
Today was another day of deluging in a string of deluging days.
That is okay.
It was a good day to stay in and sew a summer garden.
Monday is the day a new block is posted to the
Summer in the Garden Quilt Along
Sew I stayed inside and sewed with my pretty flower fabrics.
Today's block is this pretty Bird of Paradise block.
Here is my 12.5" unfinished block.
Note: If you are sewing, you may want to watch for possible cutting corrections for this block as there have been reports of possible errors in the Facebook group.
I saw them, as I, unsuspectingly, posted the link to the pattern.
Bravely, I cut and sewed.
There is now a correction notice at the bottom of the original post regarding the size of the D squares. This did not affect my making of the block because I followed my favorite method for square in a square block.
I did not use the stitch and flip as I feel it wastes the cut off fabric.
I fussy cut my large floral to 3.5 inches.
Then I followed my favorite method for making square in a square blocks,
Since I did not use the pattern cutting measurements,
I cannot further comment on them.
There are a lot of different ways to make the same block and all are valid.
My block did measure 12.5 inches so I am good.
I did end up with this "Bonus Block."
As I had cut the 4.5 inch square, I made an 8.5 inch Economy Block
to add to my quilt.
Are you sewing along in this quilty garden?
