It sounds like these are going to be hard but Century of Progress is one of my favorites to look at. I like how you did the color placement rwquilts and I plan to do mine in the same way. I thought the fabrics had been turned by accident in the first few I looked at and that it was supposed to be done like you did it :thumbup: To me it looks like a beautiful Christmas tree topper done the way it's supposed to and I think it's nice that way too. I think these are the prettiest blocks so far! The fabric is so striking in them all. Good job, ladies and I'll look at all your gorgeous blocks again for inspiration as I work with all of those angles...it can be done. :shock: |
I got #18 done, although I can't tell you how. I measured a little, cut a little, and then trimmed to make it the right size. I figure in a quilt with this much to look at, if someone finds a "dull" point, that's their reward for looking that close at any one block!
Thanks, Honchey, for the rotary instructions. They're lifesavers!!! |

Hi Honchey,
The paperpiecing isn't the same as the book block assembly I wish it was it would be hugely easier. It's layout is a touch different. Sections are split a little differently.I still am not able to dfigure it out.

Anne,
oh no! I actually discarded it and started totally over but will get it and do so. Cause I would really like to know. I ended up revising the pattern that came out on the eq5 with companion cd. Then it took me only about 45 minutes to do both the 3" and 4". I just can't figure out how they wanted it to be done without set in seams and with the 3"block that was working with a piece that was 1/2" and trying to turn for the set in it just wasn't working. I will get a picture of it and post it on here if tht's ok? Thanks for your help on this! Judy |
