    Not sure about all the blocks

    Comment


      Considering how I will finish the blocks and I am considering making sawtooth stars (I love star blocks). I am not sure what I would do for sashing but thinking of possbilities is fun and challenging.

        I understand why you are not sure, but bravo to you for what you have there. , The big off centered star and using all the Kaffe fabrics, I never would have never come up with that possibility! Eager to see what you end up with.

          I love it!

            Both the star belly using the shoo fly block, and the Star of Hope... love them. Learning so much about color, and precision. Really great to slow down and be more careful about cutting and sewing and pressing - all of it. I also decided to line up the blocks with the Kaffe fabric to see how they were looking and what I may need to work on for balance and color. I also need to get some sort of design wall up. I've always used the bed in the guest room, or the floor. My sewing room which I love, is in the attick and has sloping ceilings so I only have half walls... no walls to put up a larger design wall. working on ideas though, I have always wanted one and just kept putting it off.

              I'm in the same boat as far as a design wall - no walls to put one up! I do have a piece of fabric I had ordered from Shoppersrule that could be used if I could find a place to termporarily hang it - I am tired of crawling around on the floor or looking at a bed! I have a friend who made one out of three hinged pieces of foam board on a frame - she can fold it up and put it under a bed or in a closet when not in use. I'll have to look into something like this. Love your color choices to complement the Kaffe fabrics! I was finally successful in reducing the size given for a 9-inch block to an 8-inch block, and it worked! Here is my Golden Gate block.

                  I'm having a problem with the instructions that I heard and saw in the video for the 4-pinwheel block. After each pinwheel is assembled, I watched Alex square one of them up to 2 inches square. But two stars across is suppose to be a normal unfinished block size of 6.5 inches. There must be something I missed. How can that be correct? I'm thinking that each one be 3.5 inches unfinished; 6 inches finished. Help please, Barbara. Thanks.

                    I’m loving the blended look over the white. I just started on this and I’m thinking of going the blended route also. Just beautiful to me.

                      The four HST that make up one pinwheel are each squared to 2”—that is 1.5” finished. You are correct—when four HST are joined into a pinwheel, it should be 3.5” unfinished. Four pinwheels that size become a 6.5” unfinished Double Pinwheel block.

                            Rebecca christie--your quilt blocks are really pretty next to the Kaffe prints that inspired them! This is a great place to get inspired and create!

                                I started to audition sashing. Choices are 1 vertical and the rest horizontal Can’t decide. But it screams poka dots.
