Klosjes
Klosjes, klosjes everywhere… As far as the eye can see. AKA spool blocks or bow-tie blocks
I’ve been making klosjes for a whole week now. We went to a wedding on the weekend and got there on time but the other guests didn’t arrive until two hours later so I sat and made klosjes while I waited. They’re extremely portable. I did some at the hairdresser’s on Tuesday too.
They’re very satisfying to make. I’m not sure why. I usually get bored making the same thing over and over again. It’s not because of all the different fabrics because if that were the case then I’d be happy sewing hexies, which I’m not. I think maybe it’s because it’s an interesting shape to sew with all those “Y” seams. So far I’ve made 53! What do you think?
The give-away
Now for the fun bit. If you can correctly guess the number of klosjes I’ve made by the end of Sunday (my time) then you can win these two fat quarters (actually the geometric one is 1/4 metre WOF). You already know I have 53 and that it took me a week to make that many. I hope to be sewing today and tomorrow and perhaps a little on the weekend. So what do you reckon? Leave me a comment with your guess and I’ll check them on Monday morning (my time) and post the winner.
125
my guess would be 220, keep those fingers busy!!!! you must also tell us what you will be then doing with them.
I’m guessing 153!!! Yikes! The fabric on the right–the oriental–is in my BAQ in a deep red colorway. Very, very, small world.
106 But I am probably low. 🙂
I reckon there might be 91… and I rather like them! Might recommend that we do them as BOMs for swap/giveaways at my monthly guild meeting!
Hmm I am going for 102, just over the magic triple digits!
Now I am going for 88. Sit back relax and enjoy making them. Love all that colour. They look gorgeous. Adore that wavy blue FQ too 🙂
Cheers

91 for me 🙂
My guess is 89.
I’m guessing 142. Your hands will need a rest by the end of the week 🙂
I’m going to guess 84. They are fabulous!
I am thinking 111 keep those fingers busy
You seem to be on a roll Munaiba! I’m challenging you with 119… after all, I’m sure you don’t have anything else to do in the next few days LOL
I think you will aim for 100… but you won’t quite get there because of the good times to be had over the weekend! haha… so 99 !
🙂
I am going with 135, they are cute.
I think 96
79 – and they are lovely blocks!
My guess would be 159. How are you going to use these.
I’m guessing 83….
I’m going to guess that you will slow down due to other aspects of your life and the total will be 75.
I’m going to guess that you will be slowing down with Christmas shopping and the total will be 75!
97
I think 95
I guess 121!
The first number that came to my mind was 127 and a HALF! lol
My guess is 103..don’t know why. Just the number I came up with.

I’ll guess you get 38 more made for a total of 91.
I’ll guess 24 more made for a total of 77.
My guess is 128.
My guess is 95
My guess is 94. You’ve captured my interest, think I might do some soon. Need to eat away at the scrappies.
I say 100 even. Also what a nice ting to do for your followers! Thank you!
53 divided by 7 averages 7.5 times 4 = 30 more for about 83 and because you are motivated round up to 85 though think you will want to reach 100 and life may interfere.
So, 90 is my final unscientific answer to this thought provoking question. This is the first have seen this hand-piecing block. Thanks for the introduction.
I think you will have 85 done by Sunday night.
Love those bright colours… but those Y seams intimidate me.
Someone said 100 so I’ll say you miscounted and added 1 to grow on =101!
