So it’s been a while since I posted. I wish I would find some time to be better about this. But maybe the challenges that will require it will help me do just that!
Kim Lapacek over at Persimon Dreams is hosting a block of the month scrap challenge this year. My intent before COVID was to try to finish every block into a scrap quilt this year. I successfully finished one and a top before COVID turned my life hectic. Well instead of using up scraps, COVID mask making created more. Well now I am finally pushing that to the side and I am sewing up all the scraps I can find. But there still are more and more....
February block was called the Barrister block. I actually enjoyed to read the history behind the block, because the name was so odd. The block actually was created and named for a women’s right to practice law. Sometimes known as the lawyer’s puzzle block. Some say the spikes represent the curls in the woman’s hair or actually wig.
The block though is completed by all 4 big sections with either side opposing the other. Each smaller section measuring 8 inches to make a 16 inch block.
This quilt top is 100% scrap. I actually did almost all of it back in March before my nurse work life went crazy. It sadly barely touched my bin of batiks.
I quilted the quilt with loops and lines.
I finished it at the first retreat of 2020 for me since everything else was canceled in October at Lutheridge. Then yep, I am just sitting down to make this post. On my bucket list of stuff to finish up in 2020.
So here it is.
Beautiful. Really beautiful.
