    I finished the Month 2 blocks as well as the outer border double fans this morning. I used Barca’s suggestions to make the glorified 9 patch blocks. For the outer border fan blocks, I used the freezer paper paper pieced method for the fans. It worked beautifully. For the handles, I used the C template to make a double, used freezer paper/starch to make an appliqué. Machine appliquéd after using glue dots on the double fan. For the outside arc, I placed the N template on the fold of the fabric, cut out, and machine pieced the arc onto the fan. They turned out great!

    Susanne M. The contrast of medium to medium dark centers with the light to light med. really
    makes for a beautiful layout. I have noticed that whether the contrast is for light crescents or
    dark crescents it really makes for a pleasing overall look. It is my missing sauce in my blocks.

    My month 2 blocks are complete. All were traced, hand cut and marked. I did both hand and machine piecing. What worked best for me was machine quilting the center blocks and most of the curves. Hand stitching the corners allowed me to be very precise.

    Karonray, Absolutely stunning!!! Makes me wish I had gone with my first thoughts of a black background. Thanks for the kind words. Never met a quilter that I did not like. HelenW

    Monique, your center is totally awesome and with the surrounding blocks you could stop there and have a very dramatic quilt. I love what the black solid does for the scrappy, it gives some sanity to the chaos.

    Thank you, Helen, you have been very supportive on the Forum for a long time. With the design the Nine-patch form around the center star, I don't think I will make block 2, just make more of the Glorified, Nine-patch. I've made a couple of block 2 and they aren't very friendly, and the nine-patch look so nice. I'm also playing with the idea of extending the curved piecing with Rob Peter to Pay Paul blocks to continue the circles into the applique area. Since I am so far from the scrappy into the controlled scrappy that it will be a different version of Jen's design.

    Just beautiful! I love the secondary pattern that's visible when the blocks are together.

    I'm really impressed by your ability to use that black dividing line in your blocks! It really makes them pop!
