Photos at the Finish Line
The final block of the Chester Criswell Quilt was certainly a challenge to make.
There are two of these blocks in the quilt, one made by Jane Trayner and one by Martha Turner. I wonder if they chose a difficult block because they wanted to contribute their best to the bridal quilt, or if they were a bit inclined to show off.
I certainly found this block daunting. I keep putting it off because I was uncertain if I could do it justice. Fortunately applique is just one stitch at a time and once I started I found that it wasn't impossible. You can hardly tell that my circles aren't quite evenly spaced around the wheel (that's part of the charm, I tell myself...). At the end of this post there is a place for you to share your pictures of Block 32 and Block 33.
Have you downloaded a copy of the e-book yet? It's now in my Etsy store in US dollars as well as the website in Australian dollars. If you choose to suit your location you can save a little in exchange rates.
