A friend asked me how I’d stitch the Flying Swallows block. I had to stitch one to figure out the best stitching sequence. It’s a rather fascinating block to put together by hand and actually went together quicker than I thought it would. I used shapes from the free Inklingo collection to make the block, which will finish at approximately 10.75″.
It’s easy to press.
Now that I’ve made one block and sorted out what I think is the best stitching sequence, I will make another and take lots of photos to do a mini tutorial.
Smudge was stretched out snoozing on the couch.
That is a really pretty block. I can see tons of possibilities with this one. However, I can also see that it would be a challenge to piece.

Hmmmmmm…pinks again in the new block. I think you’re sewing another quilt for Smudge. Or do you really like pink? 🙂
