Around the Block - February 2010

More swap blocks, this time for Amy from Badskirt.


Amy asked for blocks for her Teeny Weeny Quirky village, with blocks to measure 7 inches and that building or trees pieced by no larger than 5 inches and be centered within the block.


Wonky does not come easy to me and was relieved with the ease that I was able to piece these blocks.  I also couldn't agree more with Amy's "Less is More" motto for this project.

    If you get the chance to show us the complete quilt, I'd really appreciate it. It is fun to see what else others have added with their own style. Yours turned out nicely

    So so cute! The lil piggie is adorable, and I love the colours. I was just telling myself "Less is more" today when I was trying to decide if a quilt I'm working on was finished or not.

    I'm so happy with both of these blocks, Rita. You've done such an amazing job with the bundle. Teeny-tiny piecing, spectacular work.

    Thank you!
