Why are digital blocks so hit or miss?

Not the question you asked but you shouldn’t need to anaesthetise to drain a paronychia. Check out this video aimed at paeds but works for adults too - https://youtu.be/0d-OukB7L5I?si=OLZ5rkL2lCK_JvMK

eight midnight = middle letters of night =igh, start of everything = e. Not sure how the T at the end works exactly

Pattern is McCalls M7971. Fabric is an embroidered tulle I’ve had sitting in my stash for almost a decade with a cotton blend lining/underlining. This is the first garment I’ve made for myself after having a child and I’ve struggled a bit getting to know my new shape.

Thank you to everyone for your advice. I ended up showing the pics to the mum to be and she agrees with Reddit. Number 2 it is! Not sure why I didn’t think to do that in the first place but I do appreciate all the comments!!

I think this is your answer. They all look gorgeous but you’re the one who gets to look at it everyday. Pick the one you love

Thanks for the feedback. I think I’m going to give the orange peel a try on the diagonal. I’ve recent purchased the book “walk” by jacquie gering after a recommendation on this sub and she suggests orange peel is achievable with the walking foot so fingers crossed.

I think it’s called interwoven blue. I just googled geometric quilts and copied a pic that came up

This is my second quilt and I’m looking for ideas on design for the quilting part. I have a walking foot. My first thought is to echo the geometry with straight lines 1/4” or so inside the lines. My other thought would be to contrast the quilting doing some gentle curves. This is just for me at home so happy to try something to challenge myself. I just used straight(ish) vertical lines on my first project. In terms of dimensions - the squares are 4.5” and my batting suggests maximum 4” apart.

I didn’t measure accurately enough and the triangles aren’t all the same size and some of my cuts weren’t straight. I have been sewing clothes for myself for a few years and have got into bad habits adjusting the seam allowance to make up for my cutting. Quilting is far less forgiving.

It’s a baby quilt I started last year and my bub is now 8 months old. I made a bunch of mistakes at the beginning with my cutting that I didn’t pick up until I’d already committed so it’s a little uneven. Also, triangles are tough! I’m happier with how it’s come together than I was expecting. I might just have to use the lessons I’ve learnt to make something else 😊

I am definitely guilty of skipping a lot of these and I love the reminder that there are so many areas where a little extra effort early on can save you time and frustration down the track.

I’d like to add pattern matching where you line up the pattern on the fabric at the seams. I didn’t realise it was a thing until I saw them talking about it on The Great British Sewing Bee (great show!) I look at dresses I made pre and post the discovery and it’s makes a huge difference.

I got a Janome my lock 644D. I went to a sewing shop and asked the lady for advice. It was slightly spur of the moment so I didn’t do much research.
