Anyway, I present to you Block-a-palooza blocks five & six:
Block #5
Block #6
These blocks were a little more challenging, with a lot of piecing & points to match up. They aren't perfect, but I like them (especially six!). Starting block six was hugely difficult - I could not make a decision on fabric. I knew I wanted a red-heavy block, but I could not make my fabric play nice. So... I may have paid a visit to my local quilt shop... Whatever, I really like it now!
In non-quilty news, my friend Sara has been asking me to teach her to crochet. This weekend we were finally able to meet up for it, and it was a blast! I have never taught anyone before, but she's home now practicing her single crochet. She'll be a pro in no time. I thought that Sara would need a pretty new roll-up case to hold her new hooks, so I whipped one up for her.
Here it is all rolled up:
The inside:
It was fun to make, super practical (I love the needle pocket), and Sara liked it! I made it mostly following the pattern here, with a few changes, like omitting interfacing (I didn't have enough, and it was fine without). I kind of want to make one for me now, even though I have a crocheted one as a WIP right now. Hmm...
I really like the 6th one too! And the crochet roll up came out great. I made myself one that I really like. It's a great way to keep all my hooks handy.
ReplyDeleteI love this crochet roll but unfortunately the link to the pattern doesn't work anymore. Do you remember the measurements?

ReplyDeleteI am interested in making the roll up for my crochet hooks and really like that your pattern has a pocket for the needles. I tried the link to the pattern but it doesn't work. How can I get this pattern?
