first one done!

 

this is the first of 18 churn dash 10.5" blocks that are in progress.  someone asked me about the measurements....the center square is 4" cut, the corner HSTs are 4 1/8" cut, the 4 bar pieces are 4 x 2 1/8" cut....and the block comes out to......a skosh under 10.5"  at least mine did.  i'll make another and check if it's the same.  if so, then it might have to stay that way.  i did measure twice before cutting....perhaps the 40 wt thread on the spool is making the difference?  *** like many others, we're under a heat advisory today, poor air quality, index in triple digits...i'll be working out at the fitness room here today and sewing of course!

  3. I thought I had commented here, Grace, but apparently not. Thank you for the measurement clarification. I have been curious as to how the division would be made in a 10" block. Love the fabrics in this one!

  4. Your block is gorgeous Grace, and I hope it cools down there for you soon. It's colder than I'd like it to be here, wouldn't it be nice to have a happy medium between the two?
