I wasn’t very happy with a couple of the blocks from the last group of blocks<\/a>, but I am continuing to persevere and am much happier with the latest batch.<\/p>\n

It is working for me to use these blocks as leaders and enders while I piece The Peacock<\/a>. They require a lot more thought than simple piecing of two squares together leaders and enders, so it is harder to think of them as rote sewing. Still, I am getting these blocks done. I made it to Block n.53 by last Sunday and that block was half done by the time the weekend ended. This means I am more than halfway finished with the set of blocks. All of the 100 blocks in 100 days<\/a> piecers are nearing the end, which will mean my inspiration goes away. Still, I am taking advantage of it while I can.<\/p>\n

I am making the blocks the way Tula suggestions, which is a problem for me regarding triangles. My machine is eating corners of the triangles. Fortunately, after n.55, I have some blocks with, what Tula calls, stripes. After a quick glance through the rest of the book, it appears that most of the rest of the blocks consist of squares and rectangles. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n

The triangles do look nice on some of the blocks; it is just the making of them that is driving me crazy. I never thought of buying a single needle plate (think of all the needles I will break!), but Tula’s method of making the triangles might drive me to it.<\/p>\n

As soon as I finish the Peacock top, I will put these blocks up on the design wall and take a look at how they look together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
