I managed to set aside time on FNwF to do this block 🙂 I have always wanted to make this block – Monkey Wrench/Snail Trail – thanks Sophie for the great instructions, I am sure it helped heaps in the block turning out so great! I have a heap of Browns in my stash, and hope to make some more before the end of the month.  Sophie, let me know if you think the light colour is not ‘low volume’ enough 🙂 I was so impressed with...

Here are my four Snail Trails Blocks for February.  I found using a scant 1/4 th inch seam allowance worked best for me.  This will make an amazing...

My six blocks for this...

One made so far! Sophie, thank you so much for the foundation piecing page – it was a breeze to make the block! Usually I write what color will go in each place on the foundation (I use paper) but since you colored in the brown sections, it went very fast! The best, best part is that the block comes out to the perfect size 🙂 Can you tell I love paper (foundation) piecing?! I’ll be making...

  My lotto entry snails and my Old McDonald snails. (went with green ground cover) I cut big and trimmed down each round. That worked pretty...

Mailed blocks to Andra, Cathy and Erin today.

I enjoyed making these little blocks, but I’m not a huge fan of brown, so will donate these this...

Nine Snail’s Trails for me this month and I must say it was a struggle color-wise, as I lacked brown in my stash, and size-wise as I’m not a fan of 6-inch blocks!  But I decided to challenge myself never having made this particular block before.  They sure are cute and think a quilt made with Civil War reproductions would be really pretty. Also, sent out my Birds in the Air blocks to Andra, Cathy, and Erin yesterday. ~Hope you enjoy...

The first time I was really comfortable doing paper piecing. Good experience....

I only have four blocks to enter for now.  And now for my “craft fail” of the day.  I couldn’t sleep.  This is what happens when I’m watching a good movie (Jurassic World) and sewing with little sleep…   I’m not going to tear these apart and fix them.  They are the colors needed for the orphan block back I am putting on my Celtic Solstice.  I should have enough blocks now…  I just wanted to post...

Four blocks for the draw.  I’ve only ever done a couple of these blocks before, about 30 years ago, miniature paper-pieced, and never wanted to do them again, but making them without paper-piecing has now changed my...

When Sophie sent the sneak peek last week I got right to work!  I’ve wanted to make this block for a long time. I appreciate the precise cutting...
