Sojourner Truth Block
Well I got another one down, but it still wasn’t the Jackie Kennedy block….I’m taking a new tact on that one, hopefully to be completed soon. I did finish this block though. This block was named after Sojourner Truth. (Follow the link to see a short video about her life, a fascinating woman and story.)
This block did mark a quilting milestone for me, carefully measuring and marking a rectangle piece to create the block. The center block in the top row has to be carefully measured, and then the green fabric sewn along a line you draw. It was a tad tedious, however there were only 4. If I had to make a whole quilt with this block I would just end up making my own paper piecing template, so I wouldn’t have to mark the lines each time. (Which incidentally is what I’m going to be doing for the Jackie Kennedy block….wish me luck!)
Other than those 4 units everything else was super easy (and even those units weren’t “hard” just time consuming from what I’ve been used to doing. Up next….Jackie…..Jackie I WILL get you put together correctly and all of those little points WILL be perky!! 😀
