Westering Women - Block 3 Sweet Gum Leaf
This block has a combination of a lot of Y seams, a lot of seams meeting in the middle, and a bit of applique - I was surprised not to hear more grumblings from the participants -
I started to cut out the background fabric before realizing I was making a 12 inch block and with only a "snippet" - a quarter of a fat quarter - it was not big enough to make the lower part of the block. I decided to use muslin rather than starting over when I figured out all of the backgrounds I wanted to use for this were snippet-sized. I think it will be fine in a quilt.

My friend, Becky, tests the blocks for Barbara. She was working on blocks for the next program this weekend. She showed us one that has 16 fabrics coming to a point! We told her to tell Barbara that if she used that one that she might receive some really ugly email!
The gently curved stem is a nice surprise!
I'm really enjoying your color scheme for this project. if you had not mentioned it I doubt I would have thought that the two different backgrounds were not intentional all along.
I am enjoying keeping up to date with the Westering Women. the colors look wonderful together.
