SAS - Another 12” Sailing Ship done.

 Wow. These blocks take hours to do. I am lucky this is the last of them. It was also the hardest.

I have most of the ship made and am now trying to fit the areas around it to make up to a 12” block.

I am trying to incorporate some SAS pieces to blend in with the other blocks. 

This, so far, has taken me 2 hours.

Another 1 1/2 - 2 hours saw me finish the block. What was I thinking when I drew this up. 


And here the 4 ships are together. Next on the to do list will be to make the smaller blocks up to a 12” block. So that means the outside sashing borders can go on.


I am happy how these are looking.
I am on track for our first sewing weekend in Feb to sew as a group.

You are a glutton for punishment. Once it’s completed you will see it was worth it.

I think this is such a wonderful idea - though I recognise some of the trickiness.
