Happy New Year!
I'm once again sewing along with Jen @ Patterns by Jen for her monthly color challenge. (It's hard not to spell it colour. 😉) It's a great way to try new techniques and then end up with a finished quilt at the end of the year.
If you're visiting here for the first via the Monthly Color Challenge, welcome. If you are a regular follower, thanks! I've been quilting since 2003 when I took a class to make a flannel rail fence quilt for my nephew. I've been blogging since 2014 -- I started the blog in an attempt to win a prize. LOL
You can find the details in Jen's blog post. You can sign up for monthly e-mails so you don't miss the monthly instructions, which are free for the current month.
I'm here to share my version of the January's block -- I'm making the 12-inch version. This month's colour is purple which is based on eggplant. The block starts out with small and large triangles.
I like to glue baste bias edges. I find I have better accuracy than from pinning. A fine tip screw top for Elmer's school glue limits an excess amount of glue.
I love using my Bloc Loc rulers to trim whenever possible.
Piecing didn't take long.
The other bloggers sharing their blocks this month are:
Love your block!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful block, Anja! And, it's ok if you spell it colour! We know what you mean!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCan you share which Kona colors you used.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking block! I may have to try your glue tip. My blocks are getting less and less accurate by the week, lol!
