Stardust quilt
Has anyone tried this one yet???
http://www.keepsakequilting.com/prod...-QUILT-KIT.htm I'm about ready to throw in the towel! |
Looks like a lovely but complex quilt! I can't be much help as I haven't done it. All I can say is break it down into small sections and work on one at a time. Don't let the complexity of the whole overwhelm you. Good luck!
|
I looked at their ad for it and loved it ~ but when I saw 'challenging' that was it for me!
|
The individual pieces are fairly easy to do (usually 7 in a block.) But when it comes to
doing the 'y' seam...I simply cannot get all the points together and make them fit right. (20 points coming together is a mess!) Thanks for the comments. :) I'll keep working at it for awhile longer. |
Terri, what problems are you having? We need some direction on what areas you are having trouble with. Cutting, piecing, laying flat, etc.
|
Boy, that's hard to describe. I have done all the individual blocks. Putting the points together and matching the
colors opposite I am finding it Very difficult to make them so that the colors are right. I think you'd have to actually be doing one to understand these directions. :( All the skiney sides of the block go into a point and meet the other side's points. Wish I could describe it better but I don't know how! This is the first quilt I've ever been so frustrated with that I want to toss it out. |
When we ordered this kit it was listed as being "intermediate". Suddenly...it's "challenging". ROFL
I wouldn't have ordered it either if it had had THAT listing. I agree with you. LOL |
It sure is beautiful though. The finished product will make all that effort worthwhile.
|
beautiful quilt... i hope you get it worked out
|
IF I do, will let you know. :) In the meantime, if anyone here tries it, let me know. Perhaps there
is help in numbers working on it. LOL Have a super day everyone! |
