After that it was easy piecing.
I used the same method on the next block to speed up the piecing. Love all those dots.

City Sampler Quilt Along :: Blocks 46, 47, & 48
Woo hoo! Next week will mark half-way through the City Sampler book! The triangle chapter seems to be going on and on, but I guess that's life. I did use a method to stretch some of my limited Tula fabrics this week. I happened to have just one 6" charm of the print I wanted to use for block #46. But though the book called for 4-3 1/2" squares, I was able to pair the charm with a 6" solid square, stitch 1/4" around the outside edges, and then cut diagonally to make 4 hsts I could trim to 3 1/2". Worked like a charm - no pun intended!
After that it was easy piecing.

Once again, a nice little breather from the larger projects going on in the studio.

Great idea, I was thinking about this just to save fabric!!! My math is not really fantastic, so i'll just copy you! Could you please tell me what size you cut the fabric for the small triangles? Just if you remember! Thanks for sharing all info!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a clever 'bunny' ! The last block is a great one, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteThese look great, and love that the rain drops are falling perfectly vertically!
ReplyDeleteLove these little blocks! Glad you were able to get the HST you needed, and the raindrops fall perfectly!
ReplyDeletehehe at the "charm" pun. :)
ReplyDeleteI just love these Debbie. I may have to dig my book out today.
ReplyDeleteP.s. I've noticed I usually follow Heather in my comments around blogland. LOL
Love your clever workaround.
ReplyDeleteMore great blocks, Debbie! There is a girl in the RI mod guild making these and it's fun to see her book get fuller every month.
ReplyDeleteI love that you put all the blocks in your book. Promise a picture of the book when you're finished :) Prince Charming holds a special place in my heat. I do heart your last block too ...
ReplyDeleteI like the extra bit of the green sparrows in the last block :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is going to be so amazing, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteClever conservation of your precious fabrics! That's a great tip.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about that technique to make hst! Great use of that 6" charm!
