3 New Blocks - Ode to the Thirties

Over the last week, yesterday and a day last week, I did these blocks.

This first one was pretty easy.  I had cut the pieces for all these blocks a few weeks ago but didn't write down any special instructions to remember about them.  This block I had cut the triangles for paper piecing, but them pieced them in the ordinary way, and they were way to big.  So I ripped and cut them down.

This block had so many pieces it took a while to figure out what was what.  I must say I'm getting Eleanor Burns' method of Flying Geese down.  It's simple and your sew twice and you about have it.  It's a great way to do them.

And the spools.  I have done Y seams before and these came together very quickly.  I am seeing that for pictures I need to use a straight edge to keep the edge of the square even with the edge of the lens.  Or stand straight on top of the picture so there's no angling.
