Yesterday when I read the blog posts I came across this Virtual Quilting Bee post.Yesterday was also the first block tutorial of that bee at Sherri's place.
When I woke up this morning I saw few fat quarters of 'Beach House' on the shelf in my bedroom. Yes, it was not a dream, I really have fabrics in my bedroom too...
Before I notice I had cut fabric pieces for two blocks, which are based on - more or less - half square triangles (=HSTs).
So let this be a HST day...
I followed quite closely Sherri's tutorial...
except I draw two lines on the back of all 6 background squares.
The drawn lines are at the distance of seam allowance from the both side of the corner. I sewed right beside the drawn lines. Thereby the final miniblock is the most accurate. I learnt this method, when I have sewed those green STARS...
Viime aikoina olen huomannut, että saan tarkimmat kolmioiksi puolitetut neliöt aikaiseksi, kun piirrän kaksi viivaa, joista kumpainenkin on saumanvaran etäisyydellä kulmasta. Ja sitten ompelen aivan viivojen vierestä niiden sisäpuolelta.
Well, almost... the middle square is just square...
The print fabrics are Blackbird Design's 'Beach House' line...
a few years ago, so it's not a new line.
The second HST based block is...
It's the ninth block... three more ahead...
Finally...
Fenix is showing you all the blocks together...
Happy stitching(?) Sunday to You!!!!

Teen kolmiot samalla lailla, tulee mielestäni myös tarkimmat. Kaunis tähtiblokki!
Ihania blokkeja taas sinulla! Kävin tsekkaamassa tuon Virtual Quilting Bee'n, kivoja juttuja, pitänee poiketa siellä toistekin. Kiitos vinkistä. Lueskelen mielelläni noita perusjuttujen oppeja, sieltä aina tarttuu jotain mielenkiintoista mukaan.
