Thread: the technique tutorial making the rise and shine blocks

Thanks for this tute....looks doable and I may try it come September.

funny how we tend to try to make things so complicated when it turns out to be soooooo simple :)
i was totally amazed when i first went in to lay these out for the first time and realized i had 96 blocks! they went together so fast, and i only traced 48...of course, now i see the math...but it was still a surprise to get so many done in no time at all. and isn't it fun to see how different fabrics make such different blocks? greatest thing about quilting! I love to come up with a block and talk 5 friends into making it with what ever fabric they choose, then we all compare...such differences!!!
i am glad so many of you are enjoying these...jump in and give it a try ;)

REALLY CUTE-THANKS FOR A SIMPLER WAY! satisfaction w/o the hassle!

Thank you so much for sharing your technique! Lots and lots of different applications for this!

Great job on the tutorial and fabulous blocks. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Awesome you make it look so easy. I like the 1st layout, not that you asked and I especially like your colors.

So true! When I saw this in the magazine it did NOTHING for me...then I saw yours and thought "I've got to make this..it's gorgeous!!"

I get overwhelmed when I see all that detail in cutting but that is a clever way to make that quilt and the black background is perfect with your color choices. I just might be able to pull that one off. Can you share where you got your pattern?

Oh how beautiful!!! Thanks for the tute!!
