Last week was this Kansas Sunflower block.
This block was quite tricky to piece. This is my back view. I twirled the petal intersections to get them to lie flat. I tried very hard to piece the centre circle into the block, but it's been a long long time since I've done that and I just couldn't get it to sit. So, plan B? Applique. Perfect.
The block wasn't sitting straight, so I sprayed a little water on it and blocked it to size.
Turned out well in the end.
I felt like I was on a roll by this time, so moved on to machine piecing Saturday's block.

Thankfully this block was nice and easy to piece.

Beautiful blocks. I love your sunflower.
ReplyDeleteYour sunflower turned out well, I never remember about blocking, it makes quite a difference. The New Jersey block came out well, I'm thankful for a simpler block this week.
