Remember the other day when I talked about finding blocks from the Handbag Sampler<\/a>? In addition to those blocks, I found several other orphan blocks. I almost gave them all to the BAM Community Quilt project, but I couldn’t quite do it.<\/p>\n

These are two Baltimore Album Quilt blocks I started in a class with the most famous BAQ quiltmaker, Elly Sienkiewicz. I took the class at Thimble Creek when they still had a shop in Walnut Creek back in the dark ages. It was maybe 1994 or so and I was excited to take a class from the person who started the craze and did the work to bring BAQ quilts to the fore.<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/a>

The first block, which looks like a snowflake, is Star of Hearts from Baltimore Beauties and Beyond v.1<\/a> and I used needle turn applique.<\/p>\n

It is made like you make paper snowflakes. This one was easier to make as there were fewer thin lines to deal with. It was good practice for dealing with sharp points, I remember.  This pattern could easily be done with machine applique’, though that was not discussed as an option back in the day.<\/p>\n

\"Fleur<\/a>

This second BAQ block is pattern #13: Fleur de Lis with Rosebuds III  (pg.34) from Baltimore Album Quilts: Historic Notes and Antique Patterns<\/a>. I didn’t put the additional rosebuds in the corner. It was all I could do to finish this block as is.<\/p>\n

I took the class with the intention of making a Baltimore Album Style quilt, but needle-turn applique’ and I didn’t get along. Perhaps if I tried it now, it would be better. Perhaps I didn’t choose the best patterns to try the technique? I don’t know. I never really did needle-turn after this.<\/p>\n

I’ll write about the other lost and found blocks in a follow-up post.<\/p>\n
