quilting blocks module 1

And last but not least the quilting blocks I needed to make for module one. It was not so easy to work with a pattern again as I am more used to sort of design/work as I go without having all these more or less exact measurements. Luckily I found my rulers, dusted them of and put them into action...

pinwheel

shoofly

grandma's fan

rail fence

double nine patch

irregular block

log cabin

crooked log cabin ( I got bored following the 'rules')

hi you all

Hi,

I am attempting to set up a blog to keep track of my textile journey as I have enrolled a city and guild patchwork and quilting course. I,m not great with computers so bear with me...
