Sewing Night

For the last three sewing nights with Christine, I have been working on a Canada 150 block.  It is a paper pieced pattern that I found online. Here is the link.  I found this block a bit challenging...there was some unsewing involved!  I decided to use prints instead of solids for my block.  In the end, it all worked out and the block lies flat.  I will probably not be making another one!


I decided to make a pillow with my block so I added borders to make it the right size for my pillow form.  I will quilt it and put the pillow together on Saturday at our guild sew-in day. I still have to figure out what to use for the back of the pillow.  I don't have enough of the grey.


After finishing the Canada 150 block, I made another block for my liberated sampler quilt.  This one is called Hashtag.  I am using a little bit of my focus fabrics in each block. I have seven blocks done now.  There are 64- 6" blocks in this quilt.


I will try to post a picture of all my blocks next time.

  1. I have a friend who sewed that block and it involved a lot of seam ripper use! I would classify it as a very challenging pattern! Looks great finished!

  3. I love your block. I had looked at piecing this one but knew my skills were not up to it. I love your liberated block as well.

  4. Excellent paper piecing! It turned out fantastic even though the may have been some unsewing! Your sampler is going to be awesome too!
