Quilt block clock
My sister sent me this pattern and I thought it would look so cute in my sewing room. Unfortunately this means I won't be able to use the "I lost track of time" excuse when I'm sewing anymore. The clock is 12" square and I used a scrapbook frame for it (minus the glass). I made a dresden plate block using the Easy Dresden ruler. After adding the center circle I quilted a wonky spiral in the center, around each petal of the dresden plate, and echo quilted the background, using the edge of the presser foot as a guide (it's a wide presser foot). The fabric is Moda's Sophie and white Kona cotton. It was a lot of fun to make-almost instant gratification. Plus it's useful.

Hi Susan. The clock works went in fairly easily except that the whole thing was kind of thick. So I had to push hard to get the nut on the back. If I could have found a clock with a longer shaft it would have been a lot better but I'm not sure if they make them that way. But basically, I cut a hole in the front where the clock works go and also a hole in the board that holds everything in. Push the clock works in and there's a nut that screws onto the back to hold everything in securely.
