On June 26, it was Daniels family reunion. Pauline and Fred came and Pauline brought the materials that she had picked out. After the reunion, they came over to our house and brought it over. That is when the fun began! It was so funny. Pauline had decided exactly what colors she wanted in the chain blocks, so we started on the 8 point star blocks. She already knew what color she wanted the 8 point stars, and wrote them in. We just had to figure out what colors to use for the rest of the pieces in it.
Pauline had bought 6 colors to begin with. The snake color, the aqua, dark blue with glitter, red, green and white on white. BTW, the blue with glitter feels like Rubber!!! It is stiff and does not feel like regular material. I can't believe she wants it in a quilt!
I forgot to tell you when this all started in Feb. that we agreed on a price for making the top. Anyways, Fred's favorite color is red, so they wanted some red in the quilt. Then they thought some green would be nice too. Then, she changed her mind.
Pauline decided that she wanted more blues and purples to go in the 8 Point Star (8 PS), so picked one of each that I had, and added them. Now there are 8 materials.They are so similar in color to the snake which was suppose to be the main color though, I didn't know how it would look. Then, she changed her mind.
Pauline decided that instead of the 2 blocks that she had originally chose, she would rather have a Carpenter's Star block and the 2nd block could be just a framed 8PS, without the corner pieces or anything else that was in the original choice. Now, the Carpenter's Star (CS) block has 104 pieces per block! That's alot more work than before. I didn't say anything at this point though. I never really even thought about it, as we were busy at the time. They went home.
I designed the 8PS block on EQ6, designed the quilt she wanted, scanned in the 8 fabrics to use in the quilt picture, made a picture of the quilt, using her color choices, and emailed it to her. I was hoping that she would see that the pattern in the CS is almost non-existent in the colors that she had chose. Then, she changed her mind.
This is the design with her fabrics scanned in to draw it with.
