Jane's Block
In War Time - Row 5, Block 9Photo of Jane's Block - With Blue Lines Added to Outline the Block
This block went together similarly to Row 5, Block 7, except the circle was MUCH easier to applique than the odd shape in Block 7. I paper-pieced the rays, then joined them into a circle.
After basting down the edges of the applique circle and pressing it, I sewed the circle onto the rays. Then I added the four remaining background strips. I like the way it came out.
Small Again!
This is another block that I used one of my patterns that I had printed before adding the extra seam allowance to the patterns. It came out a tad small again.
I'm convinced that the extra around the outside edge is needed, at least for me when paper-piecing. So I'm going to re-print my patterns onto freezer paper WITH the extra seam allowance on the edges. I had already printed all 25 patterns for the center, but re-print I must!

Wow! The color on Jane's block looks so fresh!
For some reason all of my scans have been coming out pretty faded compared to the actual blocks so I fixed them in Paint Shop Pro to match the bright colors of the fabrics. I also went through my older entries and replaced the faded pics with the fixed ones.
Thanks, it's nice to see the pictures match the bright fabrics!
