Septembre / OMG September finish

Objectif atteint !
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 !

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!

Pour 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

Congrats on finishing. What a mess with getting the right sizes, though.
I love those blocks - so pretty on the gray background! Congratulations on meeting your goal and I'm so glad you were able to get those small blocks to work.
Those blocks are so colorful and pretty! Glad you could make the smaller ones work.

Love how those colours work so beautifully with the grey you chose. Will await seeing all these blocks together.
Félicitation Frédérique. Je suis heureuse pour toi que tu as été capable d'arranger tes deux blocs d'oiseaux. Ce n'est pas toujour évident!
I'm glad the blocking worked, this project is going to be glorious. Thanks for linking to Colour & Inspiration Tuesday.

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