I made a few polaroid blocks for Katrin's friend's daughter Hanno.

I made the bottom block first. The second one (the top one) squared up better as I pressed the pieces so the vertical pieces were facing up. That made it easier to sew the block into the background as the fabric was not as bumpy. It also helped to off set the photos with different widths of sashing.

| It makes a difference how one sends things to Germany. The first way I was going to send would have cost over $30! |
 |
| I ended up putting everything in a plastic bag in a regular envelope. |
 |
| When I mailed the blocks I included the deer block that I made earlier as Katrin had said she liked it 'as is'. I'm sure I have more of the grey fabric, will send along later once I find it! |
These Polaroid blocks are so cute. I read that she doesn't need any more blocks, but the results are just so precious!
ReplyDeleteIt will be a good quilt for the little child. Fun that she was able to collect from different countries too!
DeleteJune, the blocks are fantastic! ...and the deer is fabulous too. THANKS AGAIN! Words cannot express how grateful I am. All the best!

DeleteLovely blocks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by!
DeleteYour blocks look great. I sent one from Canada it cost about $9 Canadian to mail.
ReplyDeleteThat was nice of you, especially with your busy, busy month. So the postage with the conversion is about the same, I wonder how much it costs you to send blocks to USA? I hadn't thought before how you and Katrin have to pay more every month for that swap!
DeleteAnd thank you all for your nice comments. : )
