Skill Builders Sampler - TWO blocks finished!
Block 21 - Applied Applique
This block is called Topeka Rose. I did all needle turned applique. It took a Looooooong time. I wondered why on Earth I didn't go with an easier method. But, now that it's done, I am totally proud of what I've done here!!
Block 23 - Drunkard's Path.
I love the name. haha! Leila gave a GREAT tutorial for this method that included how to make the template in whatever size you want and how to get that curve sewn. If anyone is interested in learning to sew these dastardly curves, her tutorial is a great place to learn! It is found HERE.
As another side, this quilt a long has been a great learning experience! It's never too late to join in! The master list of blocks is found HERE!

ReplyDeleteThat puzzle quilt is fun! And your applique looks GREAT! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
ReplyDeleteOOh! Lovin' your SBS blocks! I hate that I let myself get so behind on that one. I need to make a quilt from the ones I have so I can at least use those up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing that applique block. It looks beautiful (and difficult!). And your curves turned out great on the drunkards path. Those are tough too!
ReplyDeleteIt's all looking so great, Linz! Especially loving the puzzle quilt!
ReplyDeleteNo way, lady. Needle turn is awesome and totally worth the finished product. That is a beautiful block. It stopped me in my tracks! Keep on turning that needle. I'm right behind you just as soon as I knock out some of these other WIPs ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful! The puzzle pieces idea is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat puzzle quilt is going to be so fun!
ReplyDeleteYour needle turn looks awesome!!
Great projects!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour readers have said it all, but I add my kudos to theirs: love the puzzle quilt layout, the blocks on the skill-builder quilt-along. I agree with you on needle-turn: so time intensive, but so lovely when it's done (kind of like raising children, right?)

What terrific projects! Your applique block especially caught my eye. It is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI love your puzzle quilt! How fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never seen a puzzle quilt before and it is awesome! Plus, needle-turn...wow! Good for you. I've never attempted it because I know my patience level and I'm not sure I could manage. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour Topeka Rose is beautiful! Way too go! I'm still 2 behind. That's my project for this week. :)
