HST's

This week I made HST's and added them to the top and bottom of my project.  I had to add an inch to each end of the top and bottom rows because the braids that I made are 5" wide (finished) and my HST's are 4" wide (finished)  and my starting block is 16" (finished).   So I did whatever I could do the easiest way to make it all fit.  What will happen next week?  I don't want to think about it right now.  lol.  
Well, that is part of the fun of it.  Figuring it out as we go along.

Birds in the air for "B"

Image
 Decided to go with my initial for a block since the kite block didn't seem to fit in.  But it would have been good corner blocks I suppose.  The blocks I am joining the Birds in the Air block to are 6 inches unfinished so I drew a paper pieced block because I couldn't do the math for that an unfinished 6 inch block.  I found a free pattern for 6.5" unfinished.  Oh well.  The paper one worked out ok.   I was running out of that shade of blue fabric but I pieced 2 pieces together so my 4 blocks would match.  Now I will work on figuring out the details of finishing it up.  Thank you to the bloggers that furnished pattern ideas. It was a fun adventure.

B is for Braid (and Betty)

Image
 I chose to do Braid for this prompt.  I haven't sewn it onto the center block yet because I kinda want to see what comes next and do I want the braid on the sides or on the top and bottom of the first block?  I thought about putting braid all the way around but I think it would overpower the center block.
