Hello Debbie.....I read this ,,,went away and had a panic attack! THEN I put the paper bag over my head ...pulled up my big girl pants... and read it again!!
I have a few questions if thats OK? 1. what size are you "expecting" the finished block to come out? 2.how many blocks do you want? 3.I dont have a printer at the moment so can I have a clue as to the size of the petal/leaf? It looks to be about 4x2 ins ? 5.do you want a signature block for the back/..... if so do you want any or all of these -your name -my name -my location -the date -the hive # 6.do you want scraps of the fabric used in the block and petal/leaf.
OK! worn out now!! I hope I have not driven you to distraction and migraine! I just like to be sure xx
The blocks finished will be 6 1/4" square. 1 is fine but if you want to send more I wouldn't mind. Signiture blocks would be great and that info is perfect. I don't need the scraps but thanks. The petal is 2 3/4" in the center that's open. 1 1/2" at the tip where it cones to a point for the center of the block. 3 3/4" long. I'm looking forward to this too. As for the stitch any one you feel most comfortable with will be fine. I will be embellishing the center of these blocks when I have 4 sewn together.
I think most stuff is covered in the previous posts but also can you send out the delivery address in an email as mine will be done by the next Monday so they can go in the post .
Looks like fun! I've not done a whole lot of applique, so I'm glad to have the challenge. I wanted to confirm that the widest width of the petal ends up 2-3/4". When I printed out the template, it was 3-3/4" top to bottom, but the width was off by about 1/4".
Yes those dimensions for the petal are correct. As for the address on the home page there's a line that says hive 3 addresses it supposed to have them there I will check to be sure mines there.
Hello, me again! I bloged about making your block ( www.thecheshirequilter.blogspot,com ) if you get the chance have a read and it will explain what comes to you in the parcel!! Going to the Post Office today xx Diane x
Working on this now...hm, my block came up too small too--will try again! Anyhow, I'm guessing from the demo that you want the lighter green on the outside, in which case I got carried away and forgot that, anyhow. Back to the cutting table for me!
ok, I finished my block but it was only 6" square. What could I have done wrong? I dont want to start until I get some advice because this is the 3rd one I've attempted. The first, I used what I had on hand and the strips just weren't long enough to cut the triangle to make the block. The 2nd attempt I accidentally put the dark fabric on the outside, cuz' my daughter is watching tv in my studio and I got distracted. HELP!!
Oh yes. I used 1/4". I followed someone elses advice and made outside strips wider and trimmed down. I made two more. I eill send the extra blocks as well as another which only came out to 6 1/4 x 6 1/8.
I see what happened now. My center strip (the dark one) is only 1 3/4" after beeing sewn together. When I was cutting the strips at a 45 degree angle, I cut to the point and didn't leave a seam allowance. Duh. Back to the sewing room.
I'm sorry I guess next time I will have to make clearer directions. I'm in hive 4 so I will be sure whatever block I do I make sure it's easier to do. I hate giving you guys trouble.
Im sorry i havent finished mine yet. I have gotten extrenely frustrated as NONE of my measurements match. I just rwprinted the petal template & measured it ( the smalker one right?) and it comes out to only 3 1/2 long and 2 1/4 wide at widest part. Am i supposed to use inside smaller one or not? I can just enlarge it to correct size youve requested but I want to clarify. I see thst u confirmed it already previously but the fact that i havent been able to get the same neasurements u requested on anything yet has been tough. So sorry. I just want to be sure I make it how you want and dont understand what I am doing wrong. I've never had this problem before.

Is there a specific way you want the petal appliqued? Can't wait to get started.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks finished will be 6 1/4" square. 1 is fine but if you want to send more I wouldn't mind.

This will be fun! I don't have any batiks in my stash so off to my LQS for some FQ's. I can't wait for the final quilt after you have embelished it!!
ReplyDeleteOhh fun! I don't have any batiks either, but it's a good thing I live less than 2 minutes from my LQS :)
ReplyDeleteHaving one that close can be dangoreous.LOL

ReplyDeleteYes the address is on the home page under Hive 3 addresses.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you get to experience something new. I like appliqué myself I do it quite a bit.

ReplyDeleteSaw the bocks love them thanks.

ReplyDeleteI don't mind where the lighter green is. Whichever way you have it is fine.
ReplyDeleteOK! I will be sending you one or more blocks, as well as some "oops blocks"! You will have fun playing with everyone's. :)
ReplyDeleteok, I finished my block but it was only 6" square. What could I have done wrong? I dont want to start until I get some advice because this is the 3rd one I've attempted.

DeleteDid you use 1/4" seam allowance? But send the one you made it will be fine.
ReplyDeleteAhh! I'm way behind, but I promise to make my block tonight.
ReplyDeleteJust finished mine and it came out 6" square and I don't see how it could come out any other size. What did I do wrong?
