Can't wait to see what you all do with these.

This is Sandra Jennings' Cabbage Rose. A lovely, opulant interpretation.

i "saw" two or three quilt possibilities right away when i looked at it. love it.
:P

This is my Tutti Fruiti Spider Star. I was reminded of two things while putting it together:

1. the importance of clipping away the excess seam allowance before adding the next triangle
2. press the way the block and fabrics want to go

i also learned that soft, stretchy fabrics (like my marbled pink background) are not good candidates for this block. i should have starched the heck outof it first.

I'm pretty sure if i take those steps the next time around, my points will all be pointier and it'll end up square instead of whatever you'd call the shape it is now. :shock:

p.s. the green sashes were just to test whether or not i could use it in a real quilt without completely burying the points. that's why only two ... both of which will be removed later.

Patrice, I love your block and I cannot see anything wrong with your points. Also I love the colors. I hope I will someday not be so intimidated by color. When someone else uses lots of color, I love it, but I get all confused when thinking about too many colors.
