Block # 39

This is as far as I had gotten last time.

 



I printed off two more foundation strips for the top and bottom rows.

 

 

 

I use a postcard to fold the foundation paper over and crease before cutting.

I used to use the add-an-eighth  ruler

but found the seam allowance was too narrow. 

 



 

And the add-a-quarter was too wide.

So I now use a ruler and cut at a bit less than a quarter inch.

I often use my scissors because the pressure on the ruler hurts my hands. 

 

 

Line up the next fabric.

 



 



Stitch using very short stitches

 

 

This is what happened when I made a mistake and had to unstitch.

Sigh.

The stitches were too close together

So I removed the torn piece and did it over.

 



And finally I tear away the paper.

Oops.

Next time I will not use regular copy paper.

 

 

Not all of my points came together. But that's okay.

  



Block # 39

Most of them did and majority rules.

Working on My Morrell Again

I joined in on the 17 ufos in 2017 challenge earlier this year.
The plan is to revisit 17 unfinished projects and move them forward and if a finish happens then it is a bonus.
This is as far as I have gotten on my Morrell Sampler.
So much for good intentions.

 I drafted out all the blocks with the saw toothed borders on EQ7.

 This is the first block I started while at a retreat. I had not printed off all the foundation patterns so it ended up in a project box until I got around to doing it.

The plan is to work on this one block. Then maybe another.

Blessings,
Chris
