I finished up the latest Chedderback blocks for January, 44-48. I have hit a roadblock on working on the previous months though. My goal was to get at least one a day done and be all caught up for February, but I've had a few roadblocks and balls in the air to really focus on sewing.
For block 48, I English paper pieced the block and had a hard time. I don't know if it was because of the fabric chosen or just me (likely just me), but I could not get the center to line up. And I am ok with that. There are some challenging blocks in this quilt, and unless it is an all-out mess, I am currently choosing not to redo.
It's looking like a lot of foundation paper piecing is in store for me in my catch-up plans. I really do like how blocks turn out using this method, but I prefer typical piecing since it isn't as fussy. But I will tackle all methods and learn from them. Month 11 had three foundation paper pieced blocks, one English, and two normal piecing.
I love how it looks together... I need that center section done, time to get to work and catch up.
