You'd think a girl that lived 40 years in Iowa would get along well with corn and beans. I like to eat them. I've worked in the fields hoeing and destassling them. (I prefer the former).
But I certainly have never liked sewing them. Block 8 for the Threadhead Quilt Along is called Corn and Beans. This has always been a block that gave me fits for some reason. Too many points coming together I guess. And of course I had to make two of them. Ugh! But they are done.

As a fellow Thread-head quilter, I just had to say that your blocks look pretty good to me. It may have been a fight, but you won.
Those blocks look great!! Excellent fabric combinations.
It is the sort of block design that I think looks rather plain, but then when I think about all the seams and triangles and everything I realise I don't think I'd want to have to sew them LOL
great job, well worth the effort- cw
Yes, you did it:0)
Great work.

The blocks look great to me!! I didn't know you are suppose to detassle corn. I thought you needed tassles for the corn kernels to grow. Shows what this big city girl knows LOL

A challenging block, but yours came out beautifully!
I could live on corn and beans....love your blocks!!
Hi, long time no see, this block (which I think you did fine with) is actually a favorite of mine, somehow bias has never bothered me. I guess it's because soon after I started quilting I made triangle quilts for all my kids without knowing it's supposed to be difficult. Lol.
Loved reading up on all the posts you've made since last I visited and you're beautiful blocks sent me over to the Thread Head and I'm mighty tempted, but I would (will) only make one of each block. I do better with smaller quilts.
I'm sorry about your friend granddaughter, it sure is hard to understand sometimes.
