Slowly, I'm beginning to catch up with a few neglected projects. The next ones on the list were the blocks for the Skill Builder Sampler. I needed to catch up on five blocks. Three got done yesterday.
Block 12-House and tree-improvisational piecing, quite a challenge when you like things to be neatly set out and explained, but I am getting better.
Bonus Block-my take on a waverunner block. Now it didn't matter on this one that there was no pattern, I was quite happy going with the flow.
Block 13-my favourite, a string block using paper foundation. I think I would love to do a whole quilt like this, great way to use scraps.
And, not to be forgotten, another Dorset button, this one with a buttonhole lace edging.

I just saw your blocks on Leila's flickr site - they are all lovely, considering you made them in record time! I gave the waverunner block a miss, as well as the last paper piecing block, as I thought it was overkill to do more triangles and squares using paper, when we'd just done a heap of them the normal way. I was hoping (still am) that Leila will focus on more traditional paper piecing next month - hexagons and other shapes.
Your blocks all look great! But I really like the house with the tree! Another beautiful button too! :0)
Beautiful work as usual.
Your blocks are all great. My favourite is the string block, too. I have made one towards a quilt. It is going to be a long time project, I think. The button you made is marvellous. Your progress on these is wonderful.
It's always nice to try a new technique. Even if you decide it isn't for you there is always something new. Cute house. The button is georgeous.
I love how you feel you've been neglecting projects when in reality you've been creating the most beautiful and intricate buttons and toggles.
These really are lovely blocks.
