Chain Piecing


Or maybe I should call it chain "Rowing" because I'm sewing my Tiny Tuesday blocks into rows!  I wonder if calories are burned while I'm rowing, lol!


I have to admit that this stage of quilt construction is not my favorite, but I do enjoy revisiting each block as I feed it through my machine.  So many sweet blocks!

Thank you, Angela, and all of the guest designers for your weekly blocks!  
It's been a fun year of sewing and seeing what develops!

Now and then, as I sew my rows, a squirrel runs by that I have to chase.  How about a Christmas-y sort of rainbow?

More about this one next month!

    I love both of these projects! I love the background fabric you are using, it makes each block pop! I do love your Xmas trees too! Such a pretty variety!!! Have a great day!

    Love your sampler blocks. Now I'm sorry I didn't stitch along this year.

    So pretty! How big will yours be? I ran out of steam toward the end but I was making two of every block so maybe I have enough ...

    I love how every other block is on point. It makes it look most interesting.

    Yeah, quilt top assembly is not my favorite either, but with the TT blocks I imagine it’s a bit more fun than usual because of the delightful variety. Anyway, it’s looking great, Diann. You’re in the home stretch now! I’m hoping to have time for a Christmas Squirrel soon too.

    You have some well-choreographed sewing going on! Sew a row, catch squirrel, sew a row . . . Love it! Enjoy! That is going to be a darling quilt!

    Inch by inch, row by row, your Tiny Tuesday blocks are a wonderful quilt! And I can't wait to see your rainbow Christmas blocks next month.

    So fun to see your rows taking shape! I actually really enjoy putting the rows together. It means the quilt top is almost finished :) Looking forward to more of those adorable trees, too!

    I saw those trees this week or some real similar, but I beat that squirrel off with a stick and kept strips and triangles to my TTs. And today I got lured outside in the sunshine (but in the 40s) and did some garden clean up that was delayed by frigid temps and snow. It was actually pleasant and I got a lot done.

    The blocks are looking great as you put them together, Diann. I am really partial to the piglet...I really need to make this block! :)

    Love the Christmas squirrel! Looking forward to seeing more of it!

    No wonder it's always so tedious to put the rows together-- it's rowing! Can't wait to see it together!

    Just find one of those calorie expenditure calculators for different activities and insert "Rowing". I looked it up, and I could burn 684 calories an hour for rowing. Whoohoo! All fun aside, your blocks are looking amazingly gorgeous as they all come together. Great project!

    I had my fill of chain piecing this past week. I love the looks of your squirrel!
