So, this is what it all boils down too.

1. There are 9 colors to make the Carpenter's Star blocks out of. They are now to be mixed and matched, (I really should NOT say 'matched'). Use each of the colors for the main part of the CS, and also for the Point parts on other blocks. (Example--Snake for big star and Aqua for the points. Then use Purple or something else for the big star and Snake for the points.) Understand?


2. There are 8 colors for the 8 Point Star blocks. I am not sure if they are suppose to be Mixed and matched or not. She said something about "lights for background, darks for stars", but when I got the "Pauline's Idea" picture, some of them are different colors. I'll have to talk to her when I get ready to make it and find out for sure.

3. There are 2 different reds for the corners of the CS and the 8PS. (That don't match.)

4. There is a white-on-white for the background of the CS, and the frame on the 8PS blocks.

I am now sending the last pictures. These are the colors that are for each of the blocks. Now you want to hear something really weird?
I can't wait to get started on it! The CS is my absolute favorite block and this quilt sounds like a real challenge! I'm still thinking that if it's going to be too time consuming to do the "kites", I may raise the price another $25 or something. What do you think?

After I make the top, she is going to have me take it to Tom's (where I got Swish! quilted) and have him quilt it. Then, I'll get it back and have to do the binding. It's going to be a lot of work, but I think it will be fun too. So, that's it. I'm thinking that I'll put it on the QB like I did with Swish!, "My Experimental Bargello" and make it online if there is any interest. Do you think it would be fun to see or not?
Just curious. I'm not sure if it would be exciting enough, like Swish was.

Well, that is the story of my Upcoming quilt. I hope there are no more changes before I start it. I want Pauline's quilt to be awesome. I would hate for her to be disappointed in it, especially after paying so much between all the material and my fee. You know? The first thing that I plan to do is make 2 or 3 CS with good contrast. Then I'll make one with 2 darks and send Pauline a picture. Maybe then she'll drop some of the dark blues and purples. I hope so. If not, then she can't say that she didn't realize it'd look like that anyways.


Then, I figure that I'll make about 5 CS out of colors we will be using. Then I'll make four 8PS and lay them out 3x3. Then I'll know more about how it would look. I'll also send that to Pauline, so she can see how all of the colors are going to look together. I really don't want her to be disappointed. Plus, if I don't like it, it will be harder to enjoy making it.

So, tell me what you think of all this..... Is it just me, or do you wonder too....(how this might turn out?)
