Susan: CQJP2014: April Block - All the Pretty Pictures!

The finish of July will likely not see the finish of my April block, but there was quite a bit of progress Saturda, which I'll show you, and here are pictures from the week before, when I couldn't put up any pictures.

I think Seam 74 was the last one I showed before the computer went away. Here it is with 75 next to it. Click to enlarge.


The other seam which was finished before last week was Seam 76 (although I did add the yellow bit Saturday - seemed to need something there):


In addition, I did this ribbon embellishment down on the lower corner of the block.


Saturday, most of my sewing was more seams. 77-79 are now finished and the fan only needs two more short ones. A lot of the fan seams came from Miss Annie Loopylace's blog, which you can find HERE. Most of the seams I've been using lately came from her 2008 posts. Unlike most seams I copy, I haven't changed much of anything on the ones from Annie!

Seams 74, 77, 78, and 79 are all from Annie, and the ribbon idea came from her blog somewhere, too - on a purse, if I remember correctly. So here are the additional seams, and a group shot of the fan, needing two more end seams.

Everybody playing nicely together:

That's it for this week! I'm traveling to Charlotte, NC, today, with a friend, to see the AQS show tomorrow. If there are any CQ projects, I'll be sure to take pictures to share, if allowed.
