The Desperate Housewife’s Quilt – Week 42 Linked

Apr 22, 2012 by quiltjane 5 Comments

Welcome to week 42 of the ‘The Desperate Housewife’s Quilt’. Todays block is about curved piecing and making templates. Remember, this is not a quilt-a-long. Just follow the blog every week and pick and choose which blocks you would like to make. I will be injecting some uniqueness into traditional blocks, applique, three dimensional, crazy and thread-art blocks. If you make a block please post it on the Flickr group for everyone to enjoy. Also, I have this nifty button under each post that allows you to save the post as a PDF.

*******************************************************************************************************
Be sure to visit this week’s Guest Blogger and their wonderful block.
This weeks guest is Shirley. Shirley has created this very simple but extremely effective block using HST and squares – Twisted Triangles.
