I'm determined to use only fabrics from my stash and had some very pretty combinations with large prints. By the time you cut the small pieces in the blocks, you've lost the print. I think I'll save the large ones for the setting triangles. Fussy cutting may have worked. Again, just my input for what it's worth!

Thanks, Jan and OK. I welcome your opinions. My original plan was to use the large print for the corner pieces just because they would get lost in the cutting. IF I go with the black/white/red/yellow all of those pieces have small prints. This is on the back burner and simmering as I complete a couple of other things. Still a couple of weeks to start cutting....all the patterns are printed.

Yes, I mentioned by Rainbow colors, but leaning toward Red, white and blue spin on colors now. Will see.

You do not want to see my fabrics lol. I have made 9 quilts since the beginning of the year and I have one massive bucket full of scraps, so I guess you know what I will be using for everything from now on lol.

Honchey... did you realize that your top fabric is from the Mirabelle group? That's the focus fabric on a UFO i need to get back to. It's quality, beautiful fabric reminding me of someone I have come to know and love!
welcome to everyone. Do you think we can make it to 50 Spikers? Round numbers are good. |
Well, I made one-half of the first block today! I love how it is coming together. It is lots of pieces per block. I decided to cut 6 of each piece (one for each section) at the same time and I numbered each stack of 6. I figured out the size and shape of each piece and then they were ready for the other 5 sections and they went together quickly! It seemed better than having to figure each shape on all six sections. Make any sense?
I agree that large prints won't work well, unless you use them on the larger outside pieces. Not if you are hoping for the design to show anyway. |
Sounds like a good plan jillnjo. I picked out fabrics last night--does that mean I'm committed or need to be committed?
