This month in Hipbees, the lovely Catherine set us the LynneBob Squarepants Block.
Now I've made this block before, my very first ever Bee block for Trudi in Brit Bee (April 2011 I think?). (Note to Trudi: Still waiting to see the finished quilt - hint, hint!!)
It was invented by the uber talented Lynne Goldsworthy in 2011 and was popularised through the Brit Quilt Flickr group.
I didn't achieve perfect points back then, and sadly it would seem not much has changed! Despite accurate cutting and painstaking trimming, I still have one or 2 points that just refuse to meet up!
In my opinion, half square triangles are the rebels of the quilting world! Try as you might to bend them to your will, sometimes they just won't conform!
But the important thing here is that Catherine is happy with this block. And going by the others that are popping up on the flickr group, this is going to be one superb quilt.
Let me leave you with some fine finishes from my Friday morning class.
These are Stack n Whack floor cushions. Aren't they fab!! All quilted and squishy and just waiting to be jumped on and snuggled up to! Well done ladies!
The pattern for the Stack n Whack Floor cushion is now available in my Etsy Shop.
Have a great weekend!
