I finished another block for our Underground Railroad quilt, called Broken Dishes. I'd really like to find out someday how this block got it's name. It must be a funny story. Years ago when I learned to quilt, I made a template, cut it out and put the block together by hand. This took a long time. As so many of you know, we have new and faster ways to do this now. There are even many tutorials that are shown on the internet. I took some pictures of one faster way as I put this block together for the ladies in my group.
Etty, it's funny that we both used the same fabrics for this block. I did mine by making 4" strips and sewd diagonally along the strip. Fast and Easy.
ReplyDeleteNice job!I haven't made this block yet, or it's not in my Underground Railroad book. I might add it anyway! Does it come out to be 12 1/2 inches square?
ReplyDeleteI remember before there were such tools as rotary cutters. Now as I look back how antiquated we were in our methods. I so appreciate progress.
