Hand Pieced QAL 2019 - block 4
Here’s my version of Block 4 in the Hand-Pieced QAL.
Because of my convalescence, this block's link-up was the first one I missed.
And I knew I would run out of the original brown-with-gold-details fabric eventually. I had used it in making blocks 1, 2 and 3. It was this one:
But then, that Tuesday (a few days after I had spent the previous Friday and Saturday at the hospital) that I just NEEDED to go to my quilting class at Arbis, I checked the fabric stash.
And I found these two:
Close enough in my book :)
I'm going to save that last small piece of the original for whichever block it will fit later on.
- Block info:
- the Quarter Square Triangles (QSTs) block, or the Four Hourglass blocks
- the dusky pink fabric and the brown fabric with the large flower prints were both thrift store find and I had yardage of it in my stash. The solid brown and gold were from the stash at Arbis, and the white with golden details came from my FQ stash.
- block cut with regular rotary cutter + rulers, then sewn with Gutermann Mara 120 (100% polyester) in color 1.

Info about my Discovery-quilt, written in a previous blog post:
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 incidentally also because I happened to be watching season 2 episode 2 of the Star Trek: Discovery series while I was choosing the final fabrics.

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..

This time around, I had a much easier time with matching up the points. Also with keeping the whole block dimensions, so with the 1’’ sashing around it adds up to 7,5’’ unfinished. I was pretty pleased with that :)
