Make it Merry Month Two

In Month Two the assignment was to make four Block #2's and four Block #3's and once again I enjoyed every minute of it. I cut out the fabric for the Block #2's and assembled them before cutting out the fabrics for the Block #3's. This divide and conquer method was soothing and not at all stressful or confusing.

These are my four Block #2's. Making flying geese is not onerous when sewn orderly eight at a time.

Here are my four Block #3's. The method of making those QST's for the star points worked out really well. They were made a bit oversized and then trimmed down symmetrically, carefully centering the mid point.

Block #2's and Block #3's are both stars but look how different in shape they appear, side by side.

The eight blocks from Month Two, similar to the eight blocks from Month One, are not at the very center of the quilt. Can you find the location of those eight Month Two blocks? Hint: each set of four is positioned at corners.

Month Three will have the fabric for eight more blocks. I am still excited about this project and looking forward to the arrival of the next installment. Happily, the novelty has not worn off.
