Birds and Kites quilt block

This is one of the more challenging blocks I have sewn together.

Although it looks pretty easy, I think it is because every patch is a bias patch, it is easy to stretch a side without even knowing it.

Careful measuring after each corner is sewn will help.

Peaceful Piecing!

Idaho Star Quilt Block

This is a fun little block that I designed in the colors of the Idaho state butterfly – the monarch.

This block is relatively easy to make, however it does require that you sew set-in seams (or Y seams).

With a few tips and techniques, these are easy to sew. The one caution is that you be careful not to stretch the bias edges.

Happy Quilting!
