I put a block of the Jewel Box quilt together today. I have already said that I had painstakingly cut out each part, years ago, so it is really slow, pinning and sewing these bits together. I am only going to do a block now and again, as there are forty eight pieces in each block. I want to get another UFO finished, before I do more of this one.Thankful thoughts.
I have some really nice friends. Thanks for all your support.

The blocks are beautiful and will be worth the effort. The finished quilt will be great!
ReplyDeleteI love scrappy and these little beauties are right up my alley - and I love the name "Jewel Box"

I know what you mean by lots of pieces in a block. The Scrapaholic quilt I am putting borders on now was the same way with each 12" block having 48 pieces. Didn't think I would ever get it pieced but I kept plugging along and quit making blocks at 30.
ReplyDeleteYour efforts really show - the blocks are gorgeous!
