Introducing crazy quilt block 7
Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 8:24AM;)
I cant quite believe that it is time to introduce block 7 (placed on this grid). Writing these posts about this quilt have fallen into a routine and they now seem to mark my days. Another block makes me aware of another block of time which has passed.
This is a pretty block which many people have said they like so I hope you enjoy the close description of it over the next couple of weeks.
As you can see this block is a 7 piece block
Fabric content:
Piece 1: Polyester cotton mix found in a swatch book scavenged from a curtain shop here in Canberra.
Piece 2: Polyester after five wear received in a swap.
Piece 3: Polyester scrap from a theatre costume
Piece 4: Under the lace is cotton
Piece 5: Polyester cotton mix found in a swatch book.
Piece 6: Silk from a dress I made Eve (my daughter)
Piece 7: Polyester cotton mix found in a swatch book.
Item Count:
As I have explained before this quilt is a Y2K quilt which is made up of 2001 different elements. My definition of an element was either a different fabric, lace, braid, charm, buttons or ribbon. So far this is the count
Fabric: 7
Lace: 3
Buttons: 5
Charms:1
Total items on this block: 16
Total tally on Quilt so far 140
