WELCOME BACK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD • WEEK 16 • LAST WEEK / LAST PATTERN FOR THE BE MY NEIGHBOR QUILT-A-LONG BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE GOOD FOLKS AT MODA FABRICS / UNITED NOTIONS
I'm so excited to share my version of September's blocks for the In Our Garden BOM. This month's designer was Pat Broe from Life in the Scrapatch. Isn't that the perfect title for a blog
Block 16 for the 2017 Christmas Countdown.
Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 16 OK friends - this is the last block completed! Actually it is not. Nearly Insane Quilt - Block 16 Here is a photo of the original Block 16 in Liz Lois 'Nearly Insane' book. I looked at it for a long time. I tried lots of fabric combinations but nothing was working for me. In the end I decided I deserved to design my own block as a reward for completing the quilt, so the original was abandoned and I created the block which you can see above. I didn't slouch - the original had 39 pieces, my design has 88 pieces. Yet again I am leaving an indisputable trail of evidence for when the Nearly Insane police arrive ... I wanted to include some of the scraps which are lingering in my red and white scrap jars which I used for the zig zag border on the block. To be fair these little pieces didn't make much of a dent into the scraps, so I am going to have to choose a lot of tiny red and white scrap quilts to do in the future. So what next? Once all the bits for the main quilt are done I will lay it all out and you will all get to see the full layout for the first time. Maybe in the next few days ... NUMBER OF PIECES: 88 DIFFICULTY: 2/10 SMALLEST PIECE: Triangle, 3/4" (18mm) x 1/2" (14mm) x 1/2" (14mm) LARGEST PIECE: Rectangle, 4" (102mm) x 1/2" (14mm) TECHNIQUE: English Paper Piecing (EPP) FABRICS: Cherry Sketch Basic Collection by Timeless Treasures #C8224 Christmas Past (#14547) by Polly Minick and Lauri Simpson for Moda Pinking Shears Cream Apple Red, Mama Said Sew, Sweetwater, Moda Tried and True Raindrops Garnet(04273) by Nanacy Halvorsen, BenartexCream Spraytime (Scarlet) by Makower #2800-R06 Red fabric scraps Calico

This morning I will be introducing block 16, of the I dropped the button box quilt. As you can see this block consists of 7 pieces of light coloured fabric in it. Although it has only 7 pieces of fabric there are quite a few buttons. Fabric content: Piece 1: …
Welcome! If you are just joining us, information about materials can be found here, and here are the previous blocks: Block 1, Block 2, Block 3, Block 4, Block 5, Block 6, Block 7, Block 8, Block 9, Block 10, Block 11, Block 12, Block 13, Block 14, Block 15. Materials: 8 3.5" squares of Color A 8 3.5" squares of Color B *note* these are the essential materials for each block, so you can cut several blocks worth of fabric at once to save time! Create your blocks, following the same procedure as last week. If you need help making your blocks, please see this post. You should end up with 16 2.5" squares. Ready to lay out your block? Here we go! ROW 1 ROW 2 ROW 3 ROW 4 After you have sewn your squares into rows, press your seams. I like to press odd numbered rows to the left, and even to the right. It helps to use a small piece of paper to number your rows. I like the tiny post-it notes. After pressing, you are ready to sew your rows together! Pin, if necessary, but I find that these short rows don't require pinning. Press one final time, and voila! Another finished block! Only 56 to go! Pat yourself on the back! Remember to add your blocks to our flickr group!
This is one very special technique that yields many different blocks. Some of the blocks are even traditional blocks such as churn dash and monkey wrench. You can make them in different sizes. Lear…

Block 16 Lucky Pieces by Bettina Havig for Aunt Jane Leigh-Perrot Aunt Jane Leigh-Perrot (1744-1836) Jane Cholmeley was born in Barbados, a British colony in the West Indies (the Caribbean). She arrived in England when she was six and later married James Leigh-Perrot, well-to-do brother of Jane Austen’s mother. Jane Leigh-Perrot at the time of her marriage in 1764 Jane and Cassandra Austen were fond of their aunt but she was a haughty and rather stingy woman who used her wealth to manipulate her relatives with promises---often broken---of gifts, loans and inheritances. With no children, the Leigh-Perrots promised to make sister Cassandra’s family their heirs. The Austen-Leighs spent their winters at the Paragon in Bath. Lucky Pieces by Becky Brown Aunt Jane was a fortunate and fashionable woman who took her nieces shopping with her when they visited Bath. Silhouette of Jane Austen-Leigh In 1799, 55-year-old Aunt Jane was arrested in Bath for theft while shopping. She'd purchased lace and was accused of leaving the shop with an additional unpaid-for card of lace in her reticule (handbag). Lace was expensive and the purloined piece was said to be worth £1 (about $100 today). Fashion plate from 1800 of a woman with a reticule and expensive lace trim. In Jane Austen’s England, the penalty for a theft even half that value was cruel and unreasonable. If convicted, Mrs. Leigh-Perrot faced the death penalty. Another option: a sentence of transportation to the penal colony of Botany Bay (Australia) and exile for 14 years. She was jailed without bail for seven months awaiting trial. The thought of Aunt Jane joining the typical transported prisoners horrified her family. Aunt Jane’s luck persisted. During her trial the shopkeeper and two assistants testified against her, but her lawyer caught the assistant in a lie. Others testified they’d been victims of the same scam---an unwarranted accusation of shoplifting with planted evidence followed by extortion to avoid incarceration and trial. Lucky Pieces by Becky Brown Jane Leigh-Perrot was found not guilty. Some family members believed she got away with shoplifting, a crime she may have often committed. Others believed her story that she'd been framed with an eye to extortion: "That these wretches had marked me for somebody timid enough to be Scared and Rich enough to pay handsomely rather than go through the terrible Proceedings of a public Trial nobody doubts."

The block is perfect for someone as fortunate as Aunt Jane, but it’s a rather complicated pattern in cutting the parallelograms and sewing the Y-seams, so I suggest you make a variation. BlockBase # 1140a. Cutting a 12” Block A - Cut 12 squares 3-7/8”. Cut each in half with a diagonal cut to make 2 triangles. You need 24 triangles. B– Cut 1 square 7-1/4”. Cut into 4 triangles with 2 diagonal cuts. You need 4 triangles.

I am so excited to kick off the Modern Half Square Triangle Quilt-a-Long! Today I'll share with you my inspiration for this quilt-a-long and the supplies you will need, and starting next week we'll start working on the blocks! I saw this pin a few weeks ago, and I was captivated. I loved it, and when I clicked through the pin, and found that the man who created the design used the Perl program, and that he made it for his then-girlfriend, and that she made the quilt for him as a wedding present, I knew this was right up my alley! (I have emailed the gentleman who wrote the program that created all the blocks to ask his permission to host this quilt-a-long, but I haven't heard back from him.) I loved the look of the blocks in black and white, and thought it would be fun to take these traditional block designs and make them 'modern' by only using two colors. (I am the type of person who likes to make things in the colors I first see them in, so this is really no surprise!) I couldn't figure out how to assemble the blocks without drawing them all out, so I grabbed my gridded notebook and my black colored pencil and got busy. There are 72 blocks, so this will take 72 weeks! Don't stress though - you can cut the fabric for several blocks at once, and assemble the blocks as you can. Each finished block will measure 8.5 inches. Feel free to make your blocks smaller or larger (you will need to adjust fabric requirements accordingly). I first made a few blocks 12.5 inches, so I'll compare those for you so you can see what you like best! Supplies: 5 yards each of two colors (or as many colors you would like to use!) Rotary cutter, clear acrylic ruler, self-healing cutting mat, marking pen (more on this next time), lots of thread, sewing machine, iron This yardage requirement assumes that you will cut 3.5 inch squares to trim down to 2.5 inch HSTs. I find that if I sew a scant 1/4 inch seam allowance I can use 3 inch squares to start. This requires far less yardage. You may want to try out your seam allowance to see what you can get away with. I will post one new block each Monday - and we will finish our quilt in January 2014! Yikes! I do think this is the best method - you can do four blocks at a time at the end of the month if that is easier. I recommend making several HSTs at once - it is easier to batch cut, sew and trim! Come back next Monday to see the first block! I am so excited! Even if you haven't made a quilt before, I think you can handle this one, so please jump in and join us - I am happy to answer questions as we go!

Almere Stad Netherlands The Wave "The Wave " was designed by Dutch architect René van Zuuk. It's design is based on an analysis of tunnel formwork construction; the basic principle being the simultaneous casting of floors and party walls. Variation in the length of adjacent tunnels breaks the monotonous structure. The result is a wavy facade surface providing the block with a dynamic quality and an expressive image. The silver-coloured aluminium of the facade, combined with the continuously changing incidence of light, creates a varying identity of Block 16 and suggests a moving scaly creature.
