Sewcialites: Block 7

What a week, huh? I've been pretty off and on this week crafting with everything going on, but I did take some time today to work on block 7 of Sewcialites. Named Kindred, it is designed by Bonnie Olaveson and is considered intermediate. I think that if I hadn't watched Kimberly's Livestream demonstration of this one, I would've been a little lost. Kimberly detailed how to make the pieces a little larger than called for and then trimming down. This was a lifesaver for me.

With all of the tips from the Livestream, this intermediate block came out beautifully for me. The size is just about dead-on, the points are looking good, and it's a pleasing design. Since I've been working on the Journey 2 Nebula, I have a lot of experience with the bias edges, but I was a bit anxious to work on this block even with that.

Overall, I'm happy with this block. I don't think I would have been able to figure out on my own how to increase the size and then trim, so I'm glad Kimberly showed how to do that. Now that I've worked through it with this block, I might have the skills to figure it out for another similar block.
