WIPW - Piling Up

It has been a reasonably good week and the Work In Progress Report contains the following:

Crazy for Crazy

I have added some more seam decorations on the Sweet Potato and Roast Chestnut block.

Cathedral Window

For this challenge with my friends Julie and Tanya I am following the instructions from Instructables.

Last week I showed how to press down the seam allowance of the cut pieces, and how to fold a piece in half and whip the seams together.

These are the next steps I follow to make a block:

Turn the block so the right side is out. Take care to make sharp corners.

Join up the two seams and stitch.

The instructions said whip the seam, which I did for the first half (lower seam in the picture). 

On my own initiative I then I stitched the other half (upper in the picture) with Ladder Stitch.

It was much faster and looks neater.

The last step is to fold the corners into the centre and stitch them down.

I have completed eleven blocks out of twenty so they are piling up nicely!
