Hand Pieced QAL 2019 - block 1
Here’s my version of Block 1 in the Hand-Pieced QAL.
- Block info:
- 16-patch
- the squares were scraps from the brown and yellow scrap bins, the dusky pink and brown with the large flower prints were a thrift store find and I had yardage of it in my stash.
- block cut with regular rotary cutter + rulers, then sewn with Guterman Mara 120 (100% polyester) in color 800 and 1 (had to swap because the last I had of the white 800 ran out).
I’ve decided that I’m going to call this quilt ”Discovery”, because I’m on this journey of discovering hand-sewing techniques during 2019...and incidently also because I happened to be watching season 2 episode 2 of the Star Trek: Discovery series while I was choosing the final fabrics.

Totally nice experience and a block that’s way better constructed with its seam allowances that what I usually get on the machine (because I’m usually really impatient).
Now, I know that 2 inches isn’t the same as 5 cm (it’s 5,08 cm or something) but I still got this inspiration to check in my 5 x 5 cm scrap bins if I had some brown fabric that would be suitable.
And I did!
Just the right brown, with a little splash of gold in it. If I remember correctly, the print on the original fabric was truly ugly (and that's my honest opinion), but like this, it’s a gem.
Otherwise, I'm adding a skinny 1'' border (0.5'' finished) around the blocks, because I think it will look better with a little more contrast and borders between the blocks and the sashings..
