Hive 8-Block for Liz

Hi Fellow Hive Members!

This month's block is a great go to pattern and did anyone notice that Hive 6 also has a Plus Block this month but totally different construction?  The graphic play of black & white prints against the white background fabric is really striking and will be gorgeous when all put together. 

I did have to do a little rippet rippet rippet... So, I learned I needed to be careful placing the next strip in the right direction and pin where seems intersect when putting the 4 quadrants together.

Here are some progress pics.
String piecing to the correct side...

Squared up each quadrant to 8x8
Finished and ready to send!
I like how it turned out so much that I might just have to make me my own.  Hope you love it Liz!

Until next month...
Lisa M.

Nice block Lisa. I also had to do a little ripping...always seem to need to with log cabins.

Wonderful choice of the print. It creates so much movement. Fabulous =)

Beautiful fabric choices. Thanks for the tip about ripping - hopefully will save me when I make the blocks...
