98 pieces...

I have been working on several hand appliqueing projects including the Ladies of the Sea (ships) for Mr. QuiltingBug, the Camelot Snowmen (for my mom) and the Baltimore Halloween (for me).  I usually work on a block for one project and when I finish, switch to one of the others.  That way I feel like I'm making forward progress on all of them.

Well, I just finished stitching block 7 for the Baltimore Halloween quilt.  I'm glad I didn't know how many pieces there were in this little 10" block when I started or I may have become discouraged.

 

There are 98 pieces in this one block!  A lot of the pieces are smaller than a nickel.  It was a very challenging block to make.  Now guess how many pieces are in block 8...

Do you have a guess yet?

Waiting...

The answer is 2!  I was very surprised to see that.  And considering that, I'm going ahead and making this one now too.  I'll show you as soon as I finish.

Until later...
