☆☆☆☆ Half Square Triangles will need to be trimmed down 1/8 of an inch on all sides if using 2 inch squares. This has come to my attention after sewing some of them together. ☆☆☆☆

LOL! I can understand that reasoning for following your own blog! I actually follow mine, too...but more so I'll know when google reader actually picks it up. I like to see what others are seeing and when they see it! :) Love your Bear Paw block and the others blowing in the breeze.

I have been following the Hand-Piecing Quilt-A-Long and have so appreciated that you have taken the time to do this for us! I am really enjoying it and looking forward to each Friday's new "assignment!"
Is there a "Print Friendly" function that I can print just that week's assignment?
And, here I was hoping this week's block would have less pieces. hahaha.
Every time I see some ones blocks hanging on the line I keep thinking I need to buy one and hang up in the yard. I love the colors on your blocks they look great.

Make sure you stop by and put your guess in my quilt givaway by guessing my babys B-day or Birth Weight.
Are you doing this by hand ?? Im so glad to find you. Im trying to do by hand and it seems I cant find instructions pre rotary cutting anymore...Jinny Beyer is the only other site I found..Thank u
I am having some difficulty piecing these together - the big print block is not aligning, nor is the little white block in the corner. I've checked and rechecked with your blog to make sure I cut them out right! I'm going to fiddle around with some different measurements and I'll let you know how it goes! I hope I don't have to redo the half-triangles - I already have those sewn together in sets of four...
Just found your blog and love it! Your quilts and piece work is absolutely beautiful!
Oh my! I haven't even started yet and I really want to do this! Well, I think I just may be sitting down tonight and starting the first block! There's no excuse...I definitely have time...I just don't manage it very well! :)
Thanks for your help! I did make two of these... the first one was too big since I changed the rest of the pieces to match the hst sets I already had sewn. The 2nd one turned out alright though!
Hello! I just bought my book, and would like to join and make these blocks by hand.....Hugs Morgan oxoxoxoxoxoxo PS They are wonderful!!!!!
I don't think the Antichrist will be a quilter....so you're good.
Love your photos with the barn in the background.
Hi. This is my first time to your site, a friend told me about it this morning. She is wanting to make the Bear Paw block by hand. I understand the process for making HST in the many ways available. I understand the drawing of the lines but I am missing your instruction on when to cut. If drawing on the 4" squares to make the HST are you sewing on all the sew lines first or cutting on the cut lines to make all the triangles then sewing the triangles together? If I go by your photo, you are cutting all the triangles apart first. Thank you. Qltdtresr@aol.com
