Release 14: Dear Jane. Block E9: Quilt Jail

My dear girls, happy Friday everyone!
I wish you all a lot of patience today, because personally me this block drove crazy. I made and remade it 6 times! In the pictures I am going to show you the very first attempt to be honest with all of you, showing that it is a really difficult one and if you get it perfect from the first try, you may just kiss your smart and crafty hands.

Let's go. Cut:
- 4 colored strips 1,25'' x 8''
- 3 BG strips 0,75'' x 8''
- 7 BG strips 0,75'' x 5''




Sew the colored and BG strips into this block

When sewn, press well, I advise you to use starch while pressing, it will help you to hold all these crazy tine seams in place

 

 Cut into four strips with width 1,25''

 Put the shorter BG strips between our mini blocks and sew all the rows together

See??? Mine became ugly and drunk right at this step. But let's move on :)

 Frame the block with BG strips

Press, trim, hide and let it be like the way it is :)
Or maybe do it again :)

Send you all a lot of love and best wishes to this weekend!
