Kathy, you said the points in your avatar are Fairy Frost? Have you posted a larger picture of that anywhere? I'd love to study it, and see the Fairy Frost up close.

Background is a big choice. This quilt is a big time investment and I can understand wanting it just right. If I do this again I'm thinking about going the opposite way - a more controlled color palette and a light background.

I also like I think the idea of printing it off and then cutting out the shapes, only fault I can find with that is, your design wonīt be as laid out inthe book, it might squiff a bit and it really is necessary to have it all centralised especially when you get to the sewing part......ask me how I know that. My trial block is squiffy just for that reason. Unless I have missed something within your idea it does sound great though. Welcome to all the newcomers. We really have a lovely quilting bee here and I am so looking forward to seeing our very first blocks. Getting organised with the new QAYG idea and have thought how I can get it up and running quicker. Question shall I put the tute here on the board or in the Tutorial section what all y'all think lol |
Hi I don't use washaway sheets. I use Heat 'n Bond lite. It is easy to sew through. I print on the paper side of Heat 'n Bond, then pat it with a tissue, actually lay a tissue on the ink side and pat it. As soon as I fugure ouut how to get them out of my camera I will send pictures. I put the enlarged pattern under the silicone sheet and lay the pieces on top of the sheet...when you peel them off, they are all lined up with the "cross hairs" in the middle of the pattern. feel free to ask quetions. I have done this with McKEnna Ryan patterns and it works well, however,I don't do much sewing on those, they usually are hung on a wll,

Ducky, I like the blue better than the brown, even if I would normally gravitate to the brown.
