I can't believe I've gotten my first block of Sarah's Revival done and it's only August 2nd! I just couldn't help myself - I pulled this block out early and worked on it while watching the Olympics over the past 3-1/2 evenings.
I spent 10 hours working to complete this block.
That I've actually completed a block by hand this quickly is a feat of Olympic proportions for ME! lol
(below is the orginal quilt designed by Sue Garman)
I pulled my stitches a little too tightly while getting used to needle turning the red batik fabric. (which is much thinner than traditional cotton prints) Hopefully as I progress with these blocks - there will be great improvement.
There are enough blocks to give me PLENTY of practice!
Every quilt tells a story...
