CW Block 29: Railroad Crossing


One of the easier blocks posted so far, I made it complicated by fussy cutting...


I remembered that I had purchased a set of acrylic fussy cutting templates at the quilt show last summer!  The 3.5" template certainly made cutting out the center block much simpler.

Hmmm...  52 - 29 =  23 blocks left to go!

Yesterday afternoon, I did some non-fussy cutting...


...chain piecing will be happening today!

  1. And the fussy-cutting was worth it--nice block. Love the eagle in the center.
    So what are you doing with all of the non-fussy-cut plaids?
