Around the Block with Patchwork Posse: Block #10

Posted on April 16, 2014 by Bonnie

Wheeee! Only two more blocks to go! I think I’ve learned something new with every block in theĀ Patchwork Posse Around the Block Round Robin, and this week was definitely not an exception. Remember how I said that last week’s block was a bit of a challenge? Well, this one was like climbing the quilting version of Mt. Everest! I’m only sort of kidding. Piecing together lots of tiny pieces stretches my attention span to its limits, and this block has 50 – five zero – pieces. I wondered aloud (meaning, I yelled from my sewing room), “Can you even fit 50 pieces into a 12″ block?!” But, look! I did it! AND, without a single seam rip! Isn’t it pretty?

The Six Stars are Better than One block was designed by Kate and Elizabeth from Seams Like a Dream, and while it is a challenging block, their instructions are really easy to follow. My favorite part is their Quick, No Waste Flying Geese method! It’s like magic!

    This is your first time using the no waste flying geese method? It really is wonderful, I don’t even understand how people do it any other way, since I learned the flying geese like this from the beginning. Melissa of Happy Quilting uses it in all of her QAL.
