Lucy blocks......

I'm not sure what I have shown you of my Lucy Boston blocks...........I've got 20 of mine done now and 18 of Sandy's BOM with more 3 cut to join up..........

I'm going to share over a few posts my blocks as I don't think I have posted many here............

Block 1

Block 2

Block 3

Block 4

The block above and below contain the exact same fabric in the 4x4 centre fussy cut pieces.........

Block 5

i've been taking out heaps of papers...........they'll all get reused.....and I was running out of papers again.....

I give the blocks a squirt of starch and press and remove the papers immediately.......the fresh ironing helps with the glue........

I use a tailors awl to slide in along underneath and release the glue from the papers.........then flip all the papers out...........(well except for the outside round)

i've been playing with the edge and corner too.............

last week i finally got this one finished of the BOM..............number 16.......it got left aside as one of the brown blocks needed better placement of the paper and I had just kept putting it off........took no time to finish once I unstitched and re-glued the paper...........

Stay warm if your in the south east of Oz.........just a freezing cold few days here now........it's windy outside......very chilly...........the fires great keeps the chills out......might need to shove an extra piece of wood in.........

Catch you later......
