My first 4 blocks

It still looks great scrapquilter2! Good work. I haven’t even had a chance to start other than copy the template papers and cut them out. Keep going...

My first 4 blocks

[Brenda M.]

Beautiful!!

[Ursula J.]

Brenda, they’re great! Love your fabric combinations.

My Block 4. I didn't want the center diamonds to be pieced so I did some fussy cutting and extra y-seams. Time consuming but worth it. I may quit at block 5 and do a different layout. I don't have a lot of time to sew these days. Hopefully this is just temporary as I have a lot of unfinished projects and a lot more I want to do.

I just happened to have some Fixxons Waterproof screen positive film that I use for another purpose. It works great for templates. And I have a cold laminator so was able to apply repositionable adhesive to the back. You could also use basting adhesive or double stick tape. You can get 100 sheets on Amazon for $30.

That’s beautiful, Annis.

I loves your blocks and the colors!!!!!!

[Martina A.]

I just noticed you’re beautiful quilt! I LOVE the color choices. What fabrics/inspiration did you use for it?

[Helen W.]

I just finished my experiment to make a wall hanging from the line drawing in month one.
I am happy with the way it turned out. Now I just need to quilt it. I am thinking just grid quilting in
the black areas around the blocks and echo quilting around the border appliqués. Not sure about
the actual colored circle areas.

[Kathleen H.]

Now I am wondering if it is too late to add some background into the blocks to make them sing like yours!!! Great job!!

Martina 57,
I used mostly Hoffman 1890 series tone on tone batiks that were in my stash. The black is Kona Jet Black which I just love how true black it is.
My inspiration was thinking could a pieced design be made from a line drawing of the pattern, using raw edge appliqué for the pieces and just edge
stitching them. I had
never tried it, but it worked well. HelenW
