Hand Pieced QAL 2019 - second set of blocks (1-4)
Because I felt so down, from having to stay in bed so much due to the slipped disc in my spine, I cut out a second set of the same blocks for the Hand Pieced QAL.
I'm not going to elaborate how much it hurt my back to cut out these. Needless to say, I was pretty exhausted afterwards.
This second set has pastel colors, where the ones for the Discovery-quilt has more warm brown and golden colors. In keeping with my impromptu theme for the Discovery, I'm calling this quilt "Defiant". That's also a name for a star ship in the Star Trek-universe - a sister ship to the famous Enterprise. And it starts with a D, just like Discovery. And it fits, since I've tried to defy the whole you-can't-really-sew-in-bed.
Turns out, you can. But you get sore arm muscles.

And your sewing studio looks like this:
So, here's my version of the blocks for Defiant
Block 1
- Block info:
- the 16-patch block, or four times a Four-patch block
- every fabric for this came from the stash at Arbis, because I got inspired by the three solids and one flower fabric someone had donated. One peach, one pale pink, one light violet, and one large print flower fabric in total.
- block cut with regular rotary cutter + rulers, then sewn with Gutermann Mara 120 (100% polyester) in color 1.

Block 2

- the Half Square Triangles (HSTs)
- every fabric for this came from the stash at Arbis, because I got inspired by the three solids and one flower fabric someone had donated. One peach, one pale pink, one light violet, and one large print flower fabric in total.
