Thread: The Village Idiot vs Bali Wedding Star Pattern

The Village Idiot vs. Bali Wedding Star Pattern (80"x80")

Little did I know how complicated this pattern would be. I have pieced the arcs and my first mistake may have been using five colors for the arcs instead of four. Each arc consists of shades of light to dark purple, maroon, green, blue and orange. The background colors I would like to use are off white, gold, light green, light blue. I am stymied when it comes to cutting and piecing the CDS and CMS blocks. I would like more of the off white for background than the other colors. I'm thinking the first thing I need to do is figure out the placement of each color and then figure out the backgrounds accordingly.
I have spent so much time and money already (which I'm beginning to regret) and am now afraid I am going to make a major blunder and ruin the whole thing. I do not have a class available so notes, pictures, diagrams, any and all advice would be truly appreciated. I have scoured the internet, you tube and old QB postings without much "how to do it" luck. I'm hoping the solution is not "forget about it" !! lol

I have never done one so can't offer you advice. Keep plugging away. I am working on my own challenge quilt and it is just that! But every few days I attack it once more and it is getting slowly done. I work on some "mindless" things in between or my brain would go on overload. Yours will be worth it in the end as it is a truly beautiful pattern. Good luck.

If you gooogle the quilt name, there are pictures of finished quilts that might give you ideas for color placement.

From your desription, it seems like you are trying to use a lot of colors - maybe elminate the orange.?
