| Vintage Block 2, "Night and Day," In Progress |
Not much has been happening in the sewing room this week, as I've been working on a lovely new web site that looks great on my computer, but some unknown coding error is making whole chunks of it disappear when it tries to go out into the world through a web browser. However, I've been planning and prepping for my next 6" sampler block in odd moments. I decided it was time for another vintage block from Charise's Vintage Block Quilt Along. (Please note that this quilt along actually took place back in 2012, but I'm going at my own speed-of-glaciers pace).

So Block 2 is "Night and Day" from a pattern booklet by Alice Brooks. It's an interesting block, incorporating more of those pesky but not insurmountable curved seams and Y-seams that modern patterns go to extremes to avoid. Charise redrafted this for a 12" finished block for her quilt along, and you can find her templates and excellent tutorial for the block here. I can't just use Charise's pattern for my block, though, because I want to mix it in with my Farmer's Wife and Farmer's Wife 1930s blocks.
