UFO Challenge 2011-Feb. #10 -Ta-Da! 1 Block Done!

Remember in my last post how I was sewing all those colorful bricks into columns! Well, I got the chance to put all the pieces together tonight, and this is the result! One very large 24.5" awesome scrappy block! Now, off to sew more bricks together!

UFO Challenge 2011-Feb. #10 - 2/17/2011

In the last couple days I have sewn enough bars into units, to cut the triangle and wedge pieces for 7 more 12.5' blocks, and also have more bars sewn together to make more units.

UFO Challenge 2011-Feb. #10 - Update

Yesterday, I was finally able to rework the cutting directions for this pattern. I now have completed one of the 12 1/2" blocks. There are four 12 1/2" blocks in each large 24" finished block. And 12 of the large blocks in the quilt top. Hopefully, now that I have the measurements right, I can speed piece some of the scrap wedge and triangle pieces, and gain some ground on this UFO. Even if I just get the inside squares of the top completed, for the February Challenge, it will be a great accomplishment in my book. Especially, since I basically had to more or less start the whole quilt top over again. Since I took pics and wrote the directions down this time, I may be adding a tutorial on how to make the blocks in the near future.
