Hearts Desire block by Esther Aliu have to reprint my pattern all 70 odd pages as I have missed placed the pattern!!!!!! Bottom flower will have to be replaced pins have rusted?

Kkkk

What happens when you put blocks away with pins in here, top pins are ALL rusty and have marked my fabric!

Poooo

I need to remake these petals that make up one of the flowers on my block? Rushed upstairs to see if the other blocks still had pins in them but I’d thread have thread basted not used pins thank goodness.

Back of a vest I made after doing a knitting course with Kay Fassett in NZ  about 30 years ago???? It  has come back to be remade as front of vest has worn out and top area needs to be redone as well.   !!!!!

I did not realise just how many spools of cotton I would go through???????  Top area almost completed.

lets make a stack and slash block?

Vvvvvvv

How do I make this from

Jjjjjj

This?  Choose a busy design cut it out around 14inchs square the cut out 9 or 12 identatacal pieces of fabric and stack  them above each other in the same position.   Then use a very sharp large rotary cutter and slash through all these layers of fabric 9 times I cut mine first in to a fan shape then slashed it in to 8 strips I ended up with 8 piles of fabric strips which I then placed out on the table as you see below.

Nnnnnnn

bottom right we have the original pattern I choose, middle a pile of strips laid out ready to sew together.  Left bottom finished fan made up and appliqué to a 14inch pieces of black fabric.

Kkjjj

lilic strips added and base.

Jjjjjj

Orange  fabric folded and then cut on the fold so I do not have a raw edge on the out side of the fan .

Mmkkk

Completed appliqued fan block .  I need to make another 3 up to give me the centre of a new quilt top!!!!

    the blog post looks like it turned out fine. When I tried to post using my Ipad all my photos would be in it upside down and I couldn’t change it or figure out why! The year is flying by – it was just Halloween and now Thanksgiving for us in the states is next week already then four weeks later Christmas, I’m not even in the Xmas mood still.

    You may still have quilts to finish,but you’ve made progress and that’s great. Sorry to hear about the pins leaving marks. A good reminder. Love how your stack and whack fans are urging out. It’s a cool technique.
