Hand Pieced QAL - Week 1



I've been following Elm Street Quilt blog quite sometime now.  When she come out with this QAL, I thought of giving a try. It takes me about a few weeks to think about joining or not, until I saw Kristin of Simple Handmade Everyday video on how to do the 1st block.  She made it looks easy and I think I have time for this....and that's how I decided to join the group.

Today,I  started by choosing my fabric from my collection.  These Chocolate Sundae Batiks fat quarter was my choice. It will be the main color and I use white as the background.


I  follow all the steps from cutting, up to joining all the pieces from the video tutorial by Kristin...


This is the result of my first hand pieced Block 1..... 


and this is how the back of the block looks like... I just use my fingers to press all the seams. 
 
                                 

This is my first experienced in hand sew a quilt block.  I find it quite challenging.  Hope I can follow through until the end.  I'm linking up my first block at Elm Street Quilt.
