Busy Bee...

More blocks for The Split Herringbone Quilt



Here 🠝🠝🠝 we have long blocks W, V, Z and Y


These are blocks L, I, N and R


In these two pictures are the hardest blocks so far and you'd never guess which ones!

Nope not the ones that are split in half... it was the simplest looking blocks out of the whole thing - the ones that are just blocks of fabric with black corners (also known as V and I).

I couldn't get the bloody fabric to sit straight! the long ones where the worst, every time I sewed the opposite corner the fabric would shift and there would be puckers in the whole thing - lots of unpicking went on for those blocks.
I tried basting down the sides of the fabric to stop it shifting... but it shifted! If I knew it was going to be that hard I wouldn't have used foundation paper and instead just do it the normal way
