Here are my blocks so far. In keeping with current Stage 4 lockdown restrictions I am using my stash from home and don’t have any Kaffe except a few stripes. I thought my collection of Aboriginal Prints offered a nice variety of colours to work with and the whites seem to play well with them too. It’s been nice to slow down and take the time to consider how the colours for each block design works or doesn’t and be more precise with the actual block construction. I am really interested in seeing everyone’s ideas on how to layout the final quilt.
Brenda,
The fact that you are here sewing with Alex, and watching and doing Sharon Schamber's techniques tells me you will eventually reach your goal to become a more precise piecer. One thing that will stand you in good stead is not stressing over that last 1/16". Alex even said 'the good thing about fabric is it stretches a bit' . We can count on that! You go girl!

A vote for floating. As soon as you start to trim, it gets more finicky to sew. Why do it? It looks absolutely beautiful this way! And your making a Queen size, right? Every little bit helps get you to that size! Stellar!!
