Objectif atteint !
Goal Achieved!
I assembled the Rainbow Birdhouses quilt blocks.
But it wasn't as simple as expected. Two blocks (some birds) were smaller than the others.
Too small.
Damned.
So I tried to block them: moisten them, then pin them flat gently pulling on the seams, and let them dry well. It worked, I gained a few precious millimeters!
Goal Achieved!
J'ai commencé à assembler les blocs du quilt Nichoirs arc-en-ciel.
Ça n'a pas été aussi simple que prévu. Deux blocs (des oiseaux) se sont trouvés être plus petits que les nichoirs.
Trop petits.
Zut.
Du coup il a fallu les "bloquer", c'est-à-dire les humidifier, puis les épingler à plat en tirant délicatement sur les coutures, et bien laisser sécher. Ça a marché, j'ai gagné quelques précieux millimètres !

J'aime ces blocs et j'ai bien hâte de les voir tous ensemble. Bravo pour avoir persévéré et trouvé une solution. ;^)

RépondreSupprimerj'ai hâte de voir l'assemblage final,comme c'est beau;heureusement que tu as trouvé une solution,je pensais que tu avais refait les blocs!
RépondreSupprimerPour moi, le patchwork, c'est souvent l'art du bidouillage! Ouf, ça a marché pour toi. Vivement que tu l'aies assemblé. Je suis une grande curieuse. Bises

RépondreSupprimerThis set of birdhouses (and birds) is absolutely fantastic. :) Don't you love what a little steam and blocking can do in such situations?
