I think getting to the last blocks of any project are the MOST exciting moments!
Block 23/25 in my Grandma's Kitchen is a 'free choice' memory. I think everyone has 'That One Item' that triggers wonderful memories about Grandma.
It might be a food, a fabric, seeing your cousin with an expression that looks just like the one grandma did.
Mine is her rolling pin... can't wait to hear your memories!.
When I went to make this block cutting the stripe the 'normal way' just didn't give it any spark!
It's really easy to cut the fabric 'on point'.
- Line up your ruler on a stripe like the photo
- carefully cut 2 sides
- carefully cut the other 2 sides
- and there you have it! I don't worry about it stretching on the bias, this size block handles nicely. But if you are worried, starch your fabric PRIOR to cutting the block out.
The layout.. with only 2 more blocks and we finish, I am SO EXCITED! Next up will be quilting it together (details HERE)!
** NOTE THE SCHEDULE CHANGE ** at our table of blocks. I added the release dates as they are adjusted to fit my travel schedule.
I also give you the date I'll announce what the next sewalong is about!
