This block was a real fiasco — what was I thinking? Finally, it’s done and now I like it very much — it has a lighter feel to it and looks better with the other two finished blocks in the Ann Champion Series. Of the three blocks so far, this one was the most difficult to stitch (matching all those points) and took the longest (not even including the redo). I really like it, though, and it’s always fun to try something that is a bit more challenging. The pattern for this block is included in my previous post.
I can see that this block would be a doozy to piece!
I think I might have taken the easier route and did this one as an applique block? Your piecing is wonderful! 🙂
This is stunning! Good work!
I couldn’t accomplish in a month of Sundays what you do in a day, Martha! The block looks great! I like the way the free space draws my eye around the perimeter. It seems like a very versatile blocks – I can imagine it in so many different color schemes.
Whew – you’re truly amazing. This is wonderful – I do like it better with the white in the middle!
It looks very complex! And beautiful!
Martha, it is beautiful, such intricate work and you did such a great job!!!
