When I cut units for my new project, I cut enough extra to make a practice block. I think it was good idea. I spent several hours today reviewing how to sew set-in seams and now I just about have the hang of it. The next blocks shouldn’t take as long to make (I hope). As a bonus, I have a fun scrappy bonus block.
After finishing this block I toyed with the idea of mixing up all my prepared units to make all the blocks scrappy, but I chickened out. The blocks for the runner I’m planning will be much more matchy-matchy, most with only three fabrics. The exuberant block above will become a little wall quilt though. I have a small bit of wall that is just calling out for it.
That block is gorgeous! It radiates joy! I don't know what you have in mind, but a whole totally scrappy quilt from those fabrics would be one happy quilt! I love it! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy star!!! It will make a wonderful wall hanging - it's so much fun to see something bright on a wall. I can't wait to see your match stars! I've never made those and don't have any desire to do so right now, but maybe someday in the future.
ReplyDeleteI love that! How did you do it? Pattern? Special ruler?

I love the scrappy practice block! Clever how you did the image like a polarid. Your blog header looks terrific too!
ReplyDeleteThat block is wonderful! Keep practicing and you'll have a whole quilt! But I'm curious how the matchy stars will look too so I hope you can share soon!
