Progress on Pears

001

Despite an attack of Spring Fever, which is causing me to want to sit on the porch sipping iced tea all day long, I have gotten a bit of work done on my pear blocks.  If you recall, I had stacks of little bitty squares and rectangles labled from A to M that were to be sewn onto the various pear block units.  I am now down to the last three piles, so truly, much has been accomplished. 

The pear tops and bottom units are finished, and I have just completed the stem units.  These were made with the stitch, flip and trim method, which I think is pretty accurate.

Stitch.

Ta da.

I have some things going on this week, so probably no post from me tomorrow.

  10. I’m enjoying your progress as I’ve admired this Fig Tree pattern for awhile. I liked your idea of making extras for a table runner. Guess I’m gonna’ have to order the pattern.
    Couldn’t help but notice the secret post regarding the mini’s.
