Hello everyone,
I’ve finally sewn together the first block of the Loyal Union Sampler from the book by Jennifer Chiaverini. It’s called Abel’s Favorite.
I had some difficulty with the way the seams were pressed and decided there was no way I could think of to make it better than this. I’m really pleased with how it turned out.
The block measures 6.5 inches square so it’ll be 6 inches square when sewn into the finished quilt.
I hope you are all well and getting plenty of time to craft 🙂

Am so glad you sorted out seams in this, and it really does look great!

/ March 21, 2015I like that block. I’d probably make it bigger, but there are so many color possibilities with it. Your blue and white choice is always a good one!
Oh Sew Tempting
/ March 21, 2015Yes, I’d probably make it bigger too but for once I’m following a pattern. I’ll see you in the F2F 🙂

/ March 24, 2015I love blue and white quilts, I think they just look crisp. Are you going to try to do a certain number of blocks a week or month?
Oh Sew Tempting
/ March 24, 2015No, I have many other commitments at the moment so I’ll dip in and out of this project whenever I find time to focus on it. I’ve now got four blocks finished and will probably put them to one side now. I’ll definitely finish them all at some point in the future.

/ March 24, 2015It’s so lovely. But so tiny…which makes it nice but tricky. Are you doing it by hand? Jane
Oh Sew Tempting
/ March 24, 2015Hi Jane, I’m machine piecing but I’m sure some of these blocks would be easier done by hand.
