My Patchwork Life

Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.

Chimney Rock Block

I was determined to catch up on my Westering Women BOM blocks before the new block was released today, and I did it! I did the re-drafted (read: no Y seams!) version of the block, and while it isn't perfect, I'm quite pleased with it.

But, considering my aversion to Y seams, can you imagine my dread when I saw September's block, which was released today?

I'm redrafting it, no question!

Well done on your re-draft of the 'chimney' - i did that too. Yes, the next one has me rethinking the process and design.

The redrafted version looks great. Yes, the Sept block looks harder than all the rest.
