I'm a Goof & Life Happens - Blocks 5,6 & 7 - Mix It Up Quilt Along

Well,

Where do I start?

How about with Block 7?

So Block 7 is this weeks post,

but I need to take a couple of steps back in time

and try to clear up and catch up on a couple of things.

I posted the wrong block for Week 4.

It should've been the Times Table shown below.

Just follow Nancy's fabulous instructions

in the Mix It Up pattern book.

I used shades of the Plum fabric for the outer 4 squares.

I used 2 Persimmon squares and

5 Honey squares for the center squares.

You need a total of 7 of these Times Table blocks.

Now, last week should've been the Double Geese.

Where was I?

Missing in action!

I love Flying Geese!

And these Ombre Geese, Oh My!

I made three geese with each of these fabrics:

Lime Green, Persimmon, Lagoon & Plum.

I combined them so all three sets had the geese flying in the same order.

Now, back to Block 7!

This week is another Designer Choice Block.

For this block I cut enough for 3 blocks

(next week I plan to do the last Designer Choice block,

which only needs two).

I cut these pieces out with the Mini Goddess Tool.

I mentioned it in a previous post (Mix It Up - Block 4).

These are mini Tall Triangles.

Here is the center of the block.

I used the corner Cut Away along with a

Half Square Triangle to make a snowball corner.

Now I combined the Mini Tall Triangles.

I arranged all the parts of the block.

It is a rather intense 9-block.

I stitched it all together and here it is:

Let me know if you are crazy enough to want to make this block.

This 12" block is made up of 61 little pieces.

I know, I know, I am crazy!

Well, I hope you enjoyed following my progress.

I would love to see what you are doing.
