Teen -- that is so wonderful! Earlier this year when I won the thread auction there were some odds and ends included, including a package of precut Moda Halloween squares that I just could think of anything to do with... and now... hmm... possibilities are brewing and maybe that package won't go out of the house at the first opportunity after all.
A virtual pat on the back to all of us, whatever we did or didn't do
Today is Tuesday, so quilt day. It motivates me to have progress/something to do each week. I have all my fan arcs with the rickrack on and pressed, today I will start pining the arcs to the foundation blocks. Hoping to have enough pins to get exactly half done, but maybe not. It will be good to cover some of that bright yellow, gosh its bright this early in the morning.
Once the blocks are done, I'm going to have to deal with directional fabrics in the layout. There are squares of background fabric and the fabric inside the stars is all directional too. I've been leaning towards having a definite top/bottom, or I can radiate them out more from the center which won't be perfect but maybe better... that way at least the quarters would be interchangeable.
Probably start a thread on the main forum about directional fabric designs... the question to acknowledge or ignore... and why did it have to be so directional in the first place? Scatters are good... even a tilt to the letters would have made it easier to work with and still obvious.
