I haven’t forgotten about this quilt – in fact I am trying to finish it so I can put in on my bed! Here is Block 10. The picture doesn’t do justice to the colors – they are more vibrant in person. When paired with the other blocks, the color palette is gorgeous!
Overall, this one was pretty straight forward, except for the FOUR set-in seams at the end. I always wondered why quilters thought set-in seams were so difficult, after making this block, I understand why! If I were hand piecing this, the set in seams wouldn’t be such a challenge, since you have so much control over what and where you are sewing.
Next up – the large center medallion (it is 30 inches square). After taking a look at the directions, it seems like the center medallion should be pretty easy – as far as I can tell there are not set-in seams!!
Can’t wait to see the final product!
Thanks Laura!!
Heather,
This is very nice. You are really getting a lot done.
Love,
Mom
Thanks Mom! I should have this completed by end of March I think. Then just send it off to be quilted!
I am currently working on Month 10 of the Civil War Tribute BOM. I cannot get these set in seams right. Do you have any advice or maybe a step by step tutorial how you did it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Cheryl
Cheryl, I had someone show me, but it just took a lot of practice. I found this Jenny Beyer tutorial on on how to do it – wish I had found this earlier:
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the advice. I will look for that video. I think I am going to start on Month 11 and take a break from this block for a little while.
